“Millets are helpful in calming down mentally and making the mind relaxed”Nutrition post: Arathi VishwanathBack in the day when there was no internet and so no sharing of recipe through Facebook and Whatsapp, still knowingly or unknowingly our ancestors were using many kinds of millets those are good for our health in one or the other recipes.My grandmother was frequently using Ragi (Finger millet).This is mostly used in southern part of India specially in Karnataka in different forms.Infants first hard food here starts with Ragi Manni ( Ragi cereal ) that is prepared by sprouts of Ragi and wheat ,which has to be fried and then get its flour. She was preparing very tasty ladoos using Ragi Huri Hittu with ghee and jiggery .I also gave this to my kids they are really enjoying it. Kids these days are extremely choosy and they want attractive food but due to its color they might not love Ragi. I add choco-chips and sprinklers to make it appealing!While preparing it at home is the best option, I use the following ready-made pack for emergencies. Loads of recipes can be cooked with it!Ragi has multiple benefits like:High proteinNatural weight lossPrevents skin from ageing Ragi is good for hair health👱🏻&zwj;♀️Loads of calcium 💪🏻Increases production of mother milkApart from these fantastic dishes, I also use Raw Ragi Flour to cook dosas, roti, idli and upma, which adds a special touch to the food.During Summer🌞, Ragi Flour mixed with water and cooked well can be preserved to consume with milk/buttermilk for cooling agent.
