We all are aware that ragi (fingermillet ) is a powerhouse of nutrients.Its oneof the most recommended grain for a healthy living. Its also a buddy for diabetic patients and weight watchers.I incorporate ragi in my dishes in number of ways and happy that everyone likes it in my home including the kids (though the dishes made from ragi are not visually appealing ).
I have already shared the recipe for Ragi Rotti and Ragi Dosa . Stay tuned for some more…
Few Points to note while making Ragi Sevai :Â
- To cook ragi semiya, follow the instruction as per packet properly.Else it will get mushy.
- The brands of instant ragi vermicelli that im aware of are anil,concorde,manna.. I usually use Anil brand. N im happy with the result.
Ragi semiya can be made in a number of ways. Today I’ll share the simplest savoury ones, made from very few ingredients, apt for perfect breakfast or light dinner.One can make it plain with just onion or add lots of veggies to make it more colorful , healthy and tasty . I’m sure after seeing this recipe, you’l rush to the nearest grocery shop to get hold of these instant Ragi vermicelli..

your receipe is traditional and wellrecived by all but children so and my 5year old granddaughter decided to make child friendly for we liked healthy ragii noodles and the fact it was steamed was better ieliminated the frying part and in my grandaughter favorite vegetables like edmame and for dinneras side dish

April 28, 2021 at 7:17 pmThank you, made this for the first time, turned out delicious. Added peas as thats all I had, I think some dill will work well! This will be a staple now..one point- used Manna’s and as instructed, soaked for 2 min and steamed in cooker without weight for 5. When I took it out, it looked overcooked & lumpy BUT as it cooled it was fine and on putting into the onion etc, perfect consistency!
