"....WWC is to get more creative ideas from all quarters of culinary world to boost the nutrition in our meals. I hope it will be fun & informative as well to experiment and cook with various wholegrain and add a new dimension to our meal and that is good health."
Finger millet is especially valuable as it contains the amino acid methionine. Finger millet can be ground and cooked into cakes, puddings or porridge. The grain is made into a fermented drink (or beer) in Nepal and in many parts of Africa. The straw from finger millet is used as animal fodder. It is also used for as a flavoured drink in festivals. Going by the names of Ragi (Kannada/Telugu),Kezhavargu (Tamil), Muthary(Malayalam), Nachni (Hindi / Rajasthani) etc, this wondergrain has loads of calcium which is even prescribed for 6 month old infants' food as Ragi Malt ! In India, Ragi recipes are hundreds in number and even common food stuffs such as dosa, idly and laddu are made out of ragi. Recipes such as Puttu, Ragi mudde, Bhakri, Ragi Sankati - all these bear testimony to the health wonder that is Ragi.
