Ragi+Oats+Poridge with fruits and nuts

Ragi Oats Poridge

Ragi (Finger millet, Nachni, Eleusine coracana) is a gluten free grain known for its high calcium content when compared to other grains. Ragi also has a good amount of few key amino acids. In south India we make various dishes with ragi like sweet ragi malt, salty ragi malt, ragi mudda, ragi roti, …. I got excited with the idea of including ragi and oats in breakfast from archana’s kitchen and came out with my flavour. As always I added my favorite ingredients fruits, nuts, seeds and  wheat germ. What a nice way to start your day with this healthy warm breakfast.

We can use vegetables such as Snake guard, Spinach, Onion or  bottle guard as an ingredient with this Recipe.  In this post I am going to describe just the mustard and garlic flavored recipe which is most popular where I grew up.
