One of my favorite combos on the plate –
- Ragi Idly
- Mint-tomato chutney
Have been trying to incorporate different millets in my daily diet and ragi is one of the easily available millets. Otherwise known as finger millets – it comes with lots of health benefits.
For this recipe, I followed the proportion by @_atinyfeast Vasu ka and it came out super soft and fluffy.
Do give it a try, you guys would love it 😀
