Ragi is rich in calcium and antioxidants. Ragi is low in fat and helps to keep the body cool. Sprouting ragi increases the Vitamin C levels in it which in turn helps in easier absorption of iron. This is one of my frequent breakfast recipe in a busy working day. Full of Nutrients and easy to make. Ragi contains complex carbohydrate and glucose is released very slowly into the blood without overloading. Thus it keeps us full for a long time. Ragi porridge is a great option to replace any meal in a day.

Notes
- I have used Broken Ragi as Ragi flour was not available
- Ragi flour cooks easily but if using Broken Ragi them it takes some time to cook and the amount of water also must be increased.
- Ragi gets thick so if needed add in little bit of more water.
- Any milk can be used if trying to loose weight then using almond milk would be suitable.
- Add Jaggery powder only if required.
- Badam Milk can be easily make at home. Soak 15 badam for 4 hours. Peel the skin.
