Ragi or Finger millet is one of the most nutritious and healthy cereals. A generation ago, many Indians were familiar with this crop. It is very adaptable crop and is suited to Indian climatic conditions. It has a lot of therapeutic value. It is rich in protein, minerals, dietary fibre and phytochemicals. It also has anti-microbial, anti-cancer properties. It reduces bad cholesterol and keeps you young. It is also called as poor man’s crop. This is one of the regular breakfast recipe in my home. My amma and paati makes yummy ragi adai.
