Additional Tips

  • For extra flavor and texture, consider adding finely chopped greens like spinach or methi (fenugreek leaves) to the batter; they pair well with the earthy taste of ragi and boost the dish’s nutritional value.
  • If you prefer a crispier exterior, cook the pitha on a well-heated cast iron skillet with a thin layer of sesame oil, pressing gently with a spatula to maximize surface contact for even browning.
  • To make the recipe gluten-free, simply omit the wheat flour and increase the rice flour proportion; add a tablespoon of besan (chickpea flour) for better binding if needed.
  • Salty Ragi Pitha can be made ahead and stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two days; reheat on a hot skillet or in a steamer for a freshly-made texture.
