Ragi Mudde – A Healthy Meal

Geetha Patil

In the rural areas of Karnataka and the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh, Ragi is typically consumed and served with spicy Saaru or bassaru. You can make it for breakfast as well as dinner. Apart from being a time-saver in terms of preparation, it is also extremely filling and coming packed with all the nutrients you need for your balanced diet.

This is a great way to start as well as end your day.
