Ragi for me is a versatile and an extremely healthy ingredient. Full of calcium and fiber, Ragi helps a lot for weight reduction along with ensuring proper circular of blood. I have also read that Ragi helps in fighting anemia and reduces the chance for stroke.

Moreover, it is gluten free and acts as a very natural relaxant. Hence, often for breakfast, brunch or quick meals, my predilection is to use ragi to make some wholesome dishes for family which includes Ragi Ambli, Instant Ragi Paniyaram, Salted Ragi Kanji, Ragi Mudde, Sweet Ragi Kanji, et al.

But, this time, during my food shopping, I came across a packet of Ragi Vermicelli or Semiya and without a thought, I bought it with joy.
