Instant Ragi Idli recipe with step by step photos and short video. Ragi Idli is a nutritious , diabetic friendly breakfast made with Ragi , curds and semolina . I have used grated carrot here but to make it more nutritious and diabetic friendly , you can add grated lauki / bottle gourd . Be creative and add some nutritious vegetables like grated beetroot , cucumber and also ash gourd . These vegetables gets well with this Ragi Idli without altering much taste .

Also the above mentioned vegetables have proven its benefits in maintaining blood glucose levels. Hence if you are exclusively making this for diabetic patients then you can add the above mentioned vegetables. But in case if you are new to Ragi taste , then just add any of the vegetable and make Idli till you get adjusted with the taste.

Instant Ragi Idli Recipe

This insant Ragi idli’s are soft and has hint of earthen flavor of ragi . I personally recommend to serve this Ragi idli hot with a spoon of ghee and Tiffin Sambar or bombay potato saagu or tomato chutney . Also onion chutney , pumpkin chutney and Gori Kai Kara chutney | Cluster beans chutney goes on well with this. I somewhat doesn’t like the combination of Ragi Idli with coconut chutney because this particular ragi idli calls for some really strong flavored , spicy chutney or sambar rather than traditional coconut chutney.

Ragi / Finger Millet is considered to be one of the best cereal for diabetics. It has high dietary fiber , high protein and is rich source of minerals like calcium ,iron and phosphorous. As ragi has complex carbohydrates and is low on GI , it can be the best source of energy to diabetic patients without spike in glucose levels . Also this can work wonder on weight management and weight loss when added to regular diet . But for all who wants to try this , always keep a mono cereal diet per meal to get its benefits.

There are two methods to make ragi idli , one is authentic version where ragi grains are soaked along with urad dal , ground to batter and then idli is made. And other version is this quick and instant Idli made with Ragi Flour. For all working ladies for a hassle free morning , make this nutritious breakfast to kick start your day . These ragi idli’s are quite filling , its just 2 idli’s per serving and keeps you energized for long. Also it takes just 30 minutes from start to finish without monitoring. Also to save some time you can also roast semolina and ragi , previous night to speed up the process of making breakfast the following day.
