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.
- 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
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.
