That’s a very thoughtful comment Anrosh. If Oprah touches dust it turns to gold and Ragi is gold as is ! . So yes, God save the poor then ! Just like yoga you will have people from Madonna to Paris Hilton toying a Ragi Mudde !

Welcome to INDImag. Please do stop by again..

i have eaten this miracle food – in many ways – but i had raggi mudda only recently – wait till it gets canned and marketed on oprah ( i don’t know the channels in india ) the price will $$$$$$ up high ! And the poor who have had this as staple will have to take begging bowls ? ! ( Read the export will increase )

Both my kids started off solid food with this. Mom used to germinat raagi and then dry fry it and send it to the mill for fine grinding. Every morning I would warm milk and the sprouted raagi and mash in a ripe banana. Both the kids just loved it and slurped it all down! It would keep them happy and full for some time I guess. Today as teenagers they rarely eat sweets! I never used to add any extra sweetener. I attribute this non-sweet tooth to their early food habits. Also they would eat thuppa-anna with mashed up vegetables. Indian relatives would be puzzled that I never added any salt, but at that age they don’t need any additives. So all new parents should try these simple food habits. Both are good eaters and are willing to try new foods. Since we are vegetarians we look upon it as a treasure hunt Expose kids to as many vegetables and fruits. If they don’t like it one day does NOT mean they will not like it a couple of days or weeks later. Kids are weird like that

Not just ganji. I think we should also write about the ragi sari (given for infants instead of cerelac), ragi huri hiTTu (great energiser) etc..
Some people with great experiences should also give us info on the kashaya. I shall try to get one which works great for vertigo and pittha and some very good home remedies for mouth ulcers if we could post those on indimag
