RAGI DOSA AND UTTAPPA

Finger Millet or Ragi as commonly known is regularly used in the South kitchens. It's in fact the staple diet in many villages across South India.  People down South draw their strength heavily through consumption of Ragi porridge (kanji) or Ragi balls which is quite popular there.   Ragi is rich in calcium. Instead of popping a pill, you can as well substitute that with ragi kanji and have it with salt and butter milk or with sugar and milk.   This will not just cool your body, but also gives you strength.  

Ragi dosa can be made instantly  and  is very easy to make if you have the ingredients at home i.e. curd, ragi flour.  I use MTR ready made ragi dosa flour or idli flour as i do not have time to buy the ragi, clean it and go to the flour mill for grinding it etc.   This is a diet friendly dish and also  can be had by anyone.  

You can make variety of dishes with this viz. Ragi dosa, idli, uttappa.  While preparing dosa, i made two to three veggie uttappam also.
