Raagi -Onion Dosa

Raagi/Finger millet is one of the healthy millet. Karnataka is famous for raagi mudde, rotti, dosa and many other dishes. It is widely grown in Karnataka region.
I have used raagi flour, onions and very little quantity of wheat flour. Ragi dosa is filling and You can enjoy it thoroughly and it keeps our stomach full for a long time. (slow in digestion).

Let us see some benefits of eating Ragi in our diet.
Raagi is loaded with calcium, fiber and it helps to lower cholesterol. Ragi is good for weight loss and diabetes. It also helps to keep the body cool. Ragi is filled with protein and it helps to protect kids from malnutrition. Ragi contain minerals like phosphorus, potassium and iron. Ragi helps tocontrol diabetes.
