Finger millet is touted as one of the most nutritious cereals that's been used in our households from times immemorial. Rich in protein, dietry fibre, minerals and more, it's used to cook many delicious food items like dosas and idlis, porridge, desserts, breads and chapathis.
It's considered a healthy substitute for milk and diary products too, and even flavoured ragi tea is becoming popular among health enthusiasts these days.
