Nutritious and iron rich ragi or finger millet is a wonder food for adult and kids both.
Calcium deficiency can be cured by taking ragi regularly.
Ragi is the common name of Finger Millet in Southern part of India (and known as Nachni in the northern part of India). Along with oats this is one of the most nutritious food and one of the easy one to digest. It is rich in calcium and protein and also have good amount of iron and other minerals. It is low in fat most of which are unsaturated fats.
So here is a delicious way to enjoy healthy ragi and oats both. You can give it in your kid’s tiffin.
I have used ghee or clarified butter but you can use unsalted butter if you like.

Hi..Can v use jowari flour instead of ragi..
And jaggery instead of sugar….
Thnks
Yes you can but taste may differ.
Can we use cooking oil instead of clarified butter
You can but taste and texture may differ. Best use ghee. You can use less ghee and knead the dough with little milk as required.
Or use unsalted butter instead.
