Ragi Idiyappam-Step By Step Pics

     Ragi Idiyappam /Ragi semiya/Ragi sevai is a healthy breakfast. Adding a decent amount of  ragi to our diets would do wonders for our health and nutrition. I try to include ragi in many forms like dosa,idiyappam etc.
     I do Poha upma,Lemon Semolinabath,Rava kichadi for breakfast .This recipe is with store bought ragi idiyappam . Its a tasty and simple dish for a weekday breakfast or for a simple dinner. Your breakfast or dinner will be ready in under 15 minutes.

Note:
  • To me Anil ragi sevai is the best. If you use other brands then soak time varies, see the package instructions before making.
  • If you feel the ragi is soggy steam it for more time.
  • Allow the ragi to be soaked for sometime that is the secret of softest idiyappam.

  2. Somehow the popularity of raagi over here isn't that much, But strange that it was what I grew up eating. Mum makes all sort of dishes with it. I like the simple touch you added to the semiya and of course, I love anything spicy and with curry leaves.

  4. This looks like a very 'Virtuous' and tasty dinner indeed, and Raagi sounds like a very interesting and healthy grain. I wonder if it can be bought in the UK? Thanks so much for linking up to the Four Seasons Food challenge.
