Cooking time:5 minutes
Serves:2
Ingredients:
- 1 pack of Ragi Idiyappam( i used Anil ragi).
- 1 large onion/vengayam
- 2 green chilies/pacha milagai
- Salt as required/uppu
- 1 tbsp oil.
- 2 tbsp buttermilk/mooru
- 1 tsp Mustard seeds/Kadugu
- 1 tsp Urad dal/Ulutham paruppu
- Few curry leaves(optional)/Karuvepilai.
- Soak the ragi idiyappam for 5-8 min (don't make it soggy ,you will see the color change and it will turn soft)
- Drain excess water.
- Steam them in idly pan for 10 min and set aside.
- Heat the saute pan with 1 tbsp oil.
- Temper it with items to temper.
- Add onion and green chilies and saute until onions are translucent.
- Add buttermilk and allow it to boil for a minute.
- Switch off the flame and add the steamed ragi sevai.
- Mix it well, take care not to break the sevai.
- Enjoy your dinner.
- 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.

Thanks for encouraging me everytime dear.
DeleteSomehow 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.
