About Ragi Porridge
Porridge is a breakfast cereal dish made by heating or boiling ground, crushed, or chopped starchy plants, usually grain, in milk. It is frequently cooked or served with added flavourings like sugar, honey, (dried) fruit, or syrup to make a sweet cereal, or it can be mixed with spices, meat, or vegetables to make a savoury dish. Depending on its consistency, it is usually served hot in a bowl. A millet porridge is known as koozh in Tamil. In Tamil Nadu, it is commonly sold by street vendors.
Ragi was first cultivated in Karnataka's Hallur region during the later Iron Age and has remained one of the state's staple foods since then. Ragi is also a popular annual plant in arid regions of Africa and Asia.

Ingredients for ragi porridge
Ragi :
Ragi is also high in fibre and can help lower cholesterol levels. It is an excellent food for weight loss, diabetes, and body cooling.
Mustard Seeds :
Mustard contains omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to improve risk factors for heart attacks by lowering blood pressure, increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels, and decreasing arterial plaque and inflammation. These seeds are great for adding flavour without adding fat to your diet.
It is served with side dishes including green chilis, raw onion, pickles and mango spiced with red chilli pepper.
