Ragi Puttu
Description
Ragi Puttu is a traditional and wholesome South Indian dish made from ragi (finger millet) flour. Renowned for its rich nutritional profile, ragi is packed with calcium, iron, and dietary fiber, making it an excellent choice for a healthy and balanced diet.
To prepare ragi puttu, the flour is moistened with water and gently steamed in layers with grated coconut, creating a soft, crumbly texture and a mildly sweet flavor. Often served with banana, jaggery, or curries like kadala (black chickpea) curry, this dish is a perfect combination of taste and nutrition. Gluten-free and easy to digest, ragi puttu is ideal for breakfast or as a snack, catering to health-conscious individuals and families alike.
