Ragi Mudde with brown rice and moolangi sambar

My simple rustic lunch today... Ragi and brown rice mudde with moolangi sambar 😄😄 #onmyplate
Ragi mudde/ finger Millet flour balls are a staple diet of kannadigas.. it's commonly known as farmer's food, as ragi keeps the stomach full for longer without giving a heavy and lethargic feeling.. it cools your body by bringing down the body heat and is a super nutritious Millet! Needless to say it is a healthy flour, rich sauce of calcium, protein and iron.. It is usually had with a watery broth made out of greens mostly.. called bas-saaru..or massoppu saaru which is basically the broth got from cooking the greens and lentils. Today I paired it with my all time favourite moolangi sambar (radish curry). I have said it before also, I love this vegetable! I feel it's very underrated!
The twist in the mudde today is, I've added brown rice.. just as a trial.. Mudde is usually done purely out of ragi flour.. you need a good practice to get the proportions and handling right when doing this.. as it can end up becoming one hard lump or a watery mess!! Believe me, I've been there, done that and thrown it away too 😝. So, just to make it easier to handle, I added some rice and it turned out yum!
Topped it with ghee and poured hot sambar.. my lunch is done right! 😄

Brown Rice with Hijiki Seaweed Brown Rice with Hijiki Seaweed
Brown rice and hijiki seaweed are key ingredients in macrobiotics. I think (and it may be just my own perspective) brown rice tastes the best when it is cooked with just a few ingredients.(I prefer using white rice when I want to add a lot of ingredients. lol.)Please refer to how to cook delicious brown rice for detailed directions when you cook the brown rice. You do not need to rehydrate the hijiki seaweed. Just rinse it lightly with water. I recommend using soy sauce and salt with no preservatives (100% natural ingredients, prepared to suit a macrobiotic diet). Recipe by Yukiline cookpad.japan -
