Vegetable Ragi Kadhi will make you fall in love with eating millets. I am offcourse one ardent follower of Finger Millet or Ragi in my recipes. Reason being that it is rich in Calcium and Iron both so whether its for growing children or their moms, this works for both of them. I remember how much Ragi porridge I use to give to my son, as he wasn't very fond of milk and then I started working on more innovative recipes to add this wonder grain in our regular meals.
Vegetable Ragi Kadhi is just a variation on my previously shared Vegetable Kadhi with offcourse added Ragi nutrition. Just be mindful of not overcooking the vegetables as they have to have a little bite so you don't miss your fried pakoras ;).
Well my blog has more Kadhi variations from my past adventures in the kitchen and you can find them here.
