Ragi or finger millet is rich in calcium and antioxidants and are gluten-free. So I make it a point to include it in my diet often. My morning drink is always porridge, but not the same porridge everyday. If it is oats porridge one day, it is multi grain porridge or ragi porridge the next day. I also alternate between sweet porridge and savory porridge. So I never find porridge boring. That is the reason you find many porridge recipes in this space. Drinking porridge after my 5 km walk in the morning keeps me active and energetic. I want to share it with you all as I want everybody to enjoy its health benefits and lead a happy and healthy life.
