Increase the heat by adding 1/2 teaspoon of finely chopped ginger or a pinch of red chili powder to the dough. For a milder version, deseed the green chilies.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of roasted peanut powder or sesame seeds to the dough for extra flavor, texture, and protein.

It is best to make Ragi Rotti fresh. The onions and salt in the dough will release water over time, making the dough sticky and difficult to handle if stored. You can, however, chop the vegetables in advance and mix the dough just before cooking.
Ragi Rotti pairs wonderfully with coconut chutney, peanut chutney, plain yogurt (curd), or a dollop of white butter. It can also be served with a simple vegetable curry or sambar.
