on Jul 02, 2024, Updated Sep 12, 2024 If you like to include ragi millet in your daily routine here are some more recipes to try: Ragi Idli, Ragi Soup, Ragi Malt, Ragi Kanji, and Ragi Banana Pancakes. The consistency of semiya is important in this recipe, so quantity of water is important to note. If you add too much water, you will end up with a soggy, gooey semiya that is literally inedible. So follow the recipe properly and make perfect ragi vermicelli at your home.
About Ragi Vermicelli
Ragi is known as a great source of calcium, iron, and fiber. It has been consumed in India since a very long time. It is great to include this ingredient in your diet. Ragi Vermicelli (Ragi Semiya, Ragi Shavige or Ragi Sevai) is an excellent way to do this; it uses ragi flour instead of regular wheat flour and makes for a delicious everyday breakfast. I usually serve ragi semiya with home made coconut chutney and a cup of filter coffee for a satisfying breakfast. You can also try it with green chutney or just as-is. It can also be packed in school or office lunch boxes very easily. Vegetables – You can add vegetables to bring a lot of flavor to this recipe. I use green peas, carrots, and French beans, but you can add other veggies which you like such as mushrooms, bell peppers, capsicum, and corn kernels. Other Ingredients – The recipe needs some basics from your pantry, including oil, curry leaves, brown mustard seeds, green chilies, asafetida (hing), onion, ginger, salt, lime juice, and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves). You can adjust the green chilies to suit your taste. I prefer them mild. Some of you might be Jain, so you can avoid adding onion and ginger in your preparation. If you have gluten-free dietary needs, skip adding hing (asafetida); the taste will still be good. Once your oil is hot, add ½ teaspoon brown mustard seeds, 10-12 curry leaves, 2-3 green chilies (slit into half), and ¼ teaspoon asafetida, and let the seeds crackle for 4-5 seconds. This starts to build the aroma while cooking and adds a lot of taste. Add 1.5 cups of water and bring the water to a boil. It’s important not to use more water here. Add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice and mix it well. Garnish with 2 tablespoon of chopped cilantro to increase the appeal and serve it hot for an amazing home made breakfast.
