Ragi / Finger millet is gluten-free and rich in calcium, iron, and fiber. Fiber-rich foods make us feel fuller for a long time because they will get digested slowly. This will help with weight loss. Calcium helps us to get strong bones and teeth and iron help to get rid of anemia.
We can prepare this simple ragi dish in 10 minutes. We can take this kali as breakfast or lunch. You can also try this instant Spicy Oats pancake for breakfast.

Shallots - 5 or 6
green chilli - 1

In a heavy-bottomed pan, add a tsp of oil and pour the flour mixture.
