Ragi which is also know as Finger Millet is a very health food.My hubby love to have these ragi contain food most of the time. My MIL has a different way of preparing them by add some spice mixture. Normally she make dosa using ragi flour but I prefer to make them as iddlies.I wasn't really a great fan of having dosa or iddlies prepare with ragi as the color wasn't appetizing to me since I was a kid. After marriage my MIL made these dosa once in a while and I got used the taste and makes them as often as my hubby wants.

a sprig curry leaves

Place the ragi flour in a large bowl and add just enough water and mix to get a smooth batter.Combine both the batter with the spice mixture. Leave the batter aside for few hours before preparing the iddlies.Grease the iddly plate with a bit of ghee and pour a big spoonful of the batter.Steam cook for 15-20 minutes till they are done..Always let the idlly to cool for few minutes before you take them out.
