Yesterday we saw the rustic way of chilling down in summer. Today, I would like to share with you a rustic delicacy of India, and this delicacy is made of ragi. Ragi is a finger millet, which is a native of Africa and introduced to India 4000 years back. Ragi is commonly eaten in South-eastern India. Ragi has a number of health benefits like cooling your tummy, treating diabetes, cardiac diseases and for keeping your head cool in scorching summers. It is normally eaten as a unsweetened porridge along with boiled rice; it is also eaten as a pudding, in form of pancakes and also as roasted chops.
The recipe of Ragi Pudding is as follows:
1. Boil half cup of rice with salt and water.
2. In a heavy bottomed pan boil 8 cups of milk with 4 tablespoons of sugar, until it reduces to four.
3. Add a cup of ragi flour, and stir it continuously. Add boiled rice and cook for 10 more minutes with cinnamon powder.
