Ragi is totally something new to me and I simply picked it up as a challenge to try different recipes. Ragi or Finger Millet has a distinct taste and is widely used in Southern Indian and Ethiopian dishes. Ragi is a rich source of Calcium, Iron, Protein, Fiber and other minerals. The cereal has low fat content and contains mainly unsaturated fat. It is easy to digest and does not contain gluten; people who are sensitive to gluten can easily consume Finger Millet. Ragi is considered one of the most nutritious cereals. It has different names in local languages. It is known as Ragi in Telugu and Kannada, Kelvaragu/aariyam in Tamil, and Madua/Mangal in Hindi.
Today I wanted to share a simple breakfast porridge called Ragi Malt which is very popular in South India. Usually its make with milk and sugar/jaggery and topped with nuts (optional). But as always I wanted to do a little twist included almond meal and it was yummers. For past 3-4 days I have been having this as a breakfast porridge and it totally makes me so full and I don't feel hungry for like 5-6 hrs straight. Trust me i dread oats and cereal I rather have Ragi, its so good, only if you try it will you know.
