    Ragi Mudde

    This recipe is very new to me. But it is a very popular dish in andhra / karnataka. Ragi flour / finger millet flour is cooked in water to shape it into a ball. This can be served with any spicy curries or dal or even with non veg curries. There are two ways of making this ragi mudde, one with rice and one without rice. This version is with rice and will share the other version soon.

    About Ragi Mudde

    Ragi mudde is made often in rural part of karnataka. This is a healthy and filling meal and keeps the farmers full for a long time. My granny makes it when we were little. She never uses rice. If you are making this for diabetic people, skip the rice.

    Ragi is rich in iron and it is good for weight loss and helps to bring sugar level under control. So include it in your diet often. You can simply serve this with buttermilk, peeled shallots & green chillies as well.

    Ragi Mudde Can be Served with

    Vathakuzhambu
    Chana Kuzhambu
    Brinjal Pulusu
    Ulli Theeyal
    Spinach Pulikari
    Pulikuzhambu
    Vendaikkai Kuzhambu
    Karamani Kuzhambu

      There is an error above the Chana Kuzhambu goes to the vathal kuzhambu recipe. Which channa is it the red one? Not white one?

      Kindly reply to my email rather than posting this.
      Which dals are suitable for ragi?
      dark red konda kadalai and karamani?
      tuvaram? any others like mochai, moong (with red or green skin)? please mention this for any millet recipe so there are protein options for vegetarians...
