Raggi Puttu is my favorite breakfast. Its a tasty and easy to prepare South Indian dish. Also it makes a delicious and energy filling breakfast. This dish is very healthy, as it is steam cooked and free from oil. Raggi cereal, is a must one that we should include in our everyday food, coz of its nutritional values and health concern. It is loaded with protein, carbohydrates, minerals, calcium, fibres, iron and phosphorous. 100 g Raggi can provide us 370 calories. Here is the easy recipe for you.
