Ragi Semiya - a healthy breakfast to start your day ! Ragi is rich in proteins, it has anti-cancer properties, best food for diabetic patients, helps in bone development, lowers blood cholesterol level. Actually it was one of the staple food in South India around 50 to 60 years back, my mom and dad used to say that their breakfast for the day would be either Kezhvaragu (Ragi) koozh or Kambu(Pearl millet) koozh. (Koozh means porridge). Even now it is staple food in many south Indian villages. However we the apartment beings are no longer taking these kind of healthy food in our daily diets. Anyways nowadays some of us are moving towards millets recipes. I am one among them.

This dish is a very simple yet healthy breakfast. I used Anil (brand) Ragi Semiya for this recipe. You can use any brand of your choice.

Take enough amount of water in a bowl and add required salt to it. Then add ragi semiya and soak for 3 minutes. [Note : Make sure water level is above ragi semiya and don't soak more than 3 minutes else it will get dissolved in water.]
Drain off the water completely.

Next stream for 4 to 5 minutes. You can stream either using idli pot or using pressure cooker or using streamer.
Put ragi semiya on the idli mould and stream it for 4 to 5 minutes like you prepare idli.
Once done, fluff it and spread it on a plate.

Streaming Process is done, lets move on to seasoning.
In a pan, add oil, once oil gets heated add mustard seeds and urad dal and chopped ginger. Once mustard splutters and chopped onion, green chilies and curry leaves.
