Recent trend of staying healthy has led to people opt for a healthy diet .
But again choosing the right thing is not so easy .While most of the packed juice and ready to eat cereals don’t fall in the healthy category ,It’s always better to have your own home-made fresh juice,unrefined cereals or simply go for fresh salads.
Finger Millet Flour or Raagi ,a highly nutritious cereal loaded with calcium, proteins, iron and other minerals.A special amino acid, Tryptophan present in Ragi helps in curbing appetite ,so its an ideal cereal for weight-loss.
Its a staple food in Karnataka.In coorg they eat raagi balls with famous Pandi-curry(pork-curry). In summer they prepare Ragi malt ,a natural energy drink that helps keep the body energized and satiated throughout the day.I am sharing a pudding made of Raagi and Nutella which can be enjoyed by all age group.
