And here we bring these yummy Ragi and Rajma Kababs. Well Ragi is indeed a super food which has been ignored for ages. Not just it is easily available but is quite reasonably priced too. Imagine good nutrition which doesn't pinch your pockets too.
Here in the recipe of Ragi and Rajma Kababs, we have used sprouted Ragi to add the nutritional value as sprouted Ragi is rich in minerals too along with Calcium. Now the catch is that if you like bites of sprouted Ragi then you can use it as it is otherwise make a coarse paste and then add in Rajma. These patties go very well with green chutney and also as a patty in burger. I tried it for my son and trust me he was over the moon to see me serving him burger at home. Kids and kids!!
