Ragi

S tier

Ragi is the South Indian identity of finger millet—soft ragi mudde balls, malted drinks, dosas, and porridge for all ages. Fresh ragi flour smells cocoa-adjacent to some noses; cooked flavour is deep and comforting. Karnataka and neighbouring cuisines treat it as daily cereal, not specialty. Mix flour with hot water for mudde; ferment for dosa. Malted ragi for beverages. A cultural keystone millet name on Indian shelves worldwide. Pair Ragi with complementary seasonings and a cooking method such as Ragi Mudde to show the South Indian Finger side of the ingredient.
