In summer this is an element which is very helpful to drop down our body heat.Can also be taken as a dietry breakfast as ragi is good source of fibre and also low calorie compared to rice.In villages for farm workers they provide this as breakfast(even few years back) along with fried mor molahai,pearl onions and thugaiyal.This food fulfill their stomach,gives energy for long time,act as a coolant from their inner and delayed their hungry.I can remember if we give idly or something else for breakfast they got disappointed and ask "kannu koozh illaya".Even we like this very much with fried kothavarangai vathal and 'sundakk kulambu'(yesterday's gravy and curry mixed together boiled and transformed to a solid state to ease to lick .mmmm yummy).As we are returning from our fastfood culture to our traditionl food style and people are conscious in weight management this food can be a best breakfast replacement.Try this you will definitely love it..This can be accompanied with thengai thuhayal and small onions.People who does not like oats will also like this.
Note:As a taste enhancer this need fermentation.So part of the process should be done a day before.You can do it as a single step on the sameday also.But sure there will be a slight taste difference.
