Sajjige Rotti

Sajjige Rottis sweetened with overripe bananas are a family favourite breakfast. I remember mom used to make this as a 3pm snack once we were back from school as well.
Course Breakfast
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fine Semolina Bombay Rava
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat flour Atta
  • 2 large overripe mashed Bananas
  • 1/2 cup Yogurt
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped Onion
  • 1 cup freshly grated Coconut
  • 2 finely chopped Green Chillies
  • 1 inch finely chopped Ginger
  • 1 Sprig Chopped Curry leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • Ghee as required
  • Water as required

Optional Ingredients to the same recipe base which I skipped

  • 2 tbsp. jaggery
  • chopped coriander leaves
  • A pinch of Baking soda

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients except the Ghee and Water. Once combined, start adding half a cup of water at a time making sure no lumps are formed while mixing the ingredients.
  • Keep it aside for 10 mins. Semolina absorbs water. So add 1/2 cup more water if it gets too thick.
  • Heat a tsp of ghee on medium high. Pour a ladleful of the batter. Don’t make it too thin.
  • Rottis take a little longer to cook than doses. Let it brown slowly for around 3-4 minutes. Add a little more ghee on top. Flip over and let the other side brown a little as well. Serve hot. We generally eat these pancakes without any toppings or chutneys.
