Eggless Ragi Cookies / Finger Millet Cookies – Eggless Cookies Recipes

When we kids my grandma used to make ragi porridge several days in a week for breakfast. As a kid I hate ragi, somehow I don’t like the colour as well as the texture of that porridge. My aunt used to make ragi dosa for my uncle who is a diabetic patient.  I love that dosa, it is not the instant kind which I posted in this blog, She makes the dosa by grinding urad dal and fermenting it. It stays so soft and the flavour was so good.

I love cooking with ragi because I know it is so good for me and contains lots of vitamins in it. Ever since I started using ragi in my cooking, I always make dosa,adai or something like that. But lately I discovered that ragi can be used in baking too, since I came across a cookies which I ate in one of my nearest bakery, So when I searched online I found this awesome recipe and immediately gave a try and the result was mind blowing. It didn’t taste like ragi which you must have had before..It was rich chocolaty and purely yummy. The cool thing in this recipe is, it is EGGLESS. So any one can enjoy it..
I hope you will try this out and let me know if you have any doubts.
