Ragi/Nachni Recipes

on

I have made smoothies with Ragi, pancakes, cheela's, and dosa too! It is a really versatile ingredient. Also, makes amazing crackers to go with anything!

    • 1 tbsp maple syrup

    Today, I made a very quick very simple version -

    Ragi flour, besan, ajwain, bhuna jeera, lal mirch, salt. Mix well with water.

    These were some of the simplest to spread crepes-like pancakes. Needed next to no oil to cook. 

    Had these with some leftover Sindhi Kadhi and leftover Rajma patties. Really very good!
