Finger millet / ragi is one of the healthiest millet, it’s rich in calcium and fiber. Finger millet (ragi) Idly is really good breakfast for diabetics and for weight watchers too. Recently I visited my mom and she was into this millets, she was making millet breakfast and ragi mudde for lunch, they taste really brilliant. Once I got back to home I tried her Finger millet /ragi Idly and it turned out really good. Onion chutney goes well with this recipe, any spicy chutney, and sambar with coconut chutney also will be amazing. Even simple Idly podi will save your day.
