Raagi Idly

Ok, so why plugging Raagi so much lately? There was also a post not so long ago about the same. Did you make those yourself? Or is your poor wife subjected to your sudden quirks? To be honest, it looks yuk! Hope it tastes better than it looks. What is that green stuff on the side? If it wasn't for your title above, it looks like something "that shall not be named" :-)

I mentioned it long ago -- raagi is 1.) a nutritious low-fat grain which is a good alternative to having rice all the time 2.) is a drought-resistant crop that used to be grown a lot and gave some food security to farmers, but got pushed out as a side-effect of the green revolution.

Eating more millets like raagi, jowar is an excellent idea in all ways, and in some cases tasty (jowar roti is excellent)

Re. the latter part of your comment, it tasted quite nice, and the green stuff is some coriander type chutney that is excellent. I did not photograph it to advantage.
