Instant Ragi Appam| Ragi Appam| Millet Appam

Ragi Appam is a delicious and wholesome twist on the traditional appam, made with the goodness of finger millet (ragi). Soft, fluffy and beautifully earthy in flavour, these appams make a comforting breakfast or dinner that is both simple and nourishing. I love how the natural colour and rustic taste of ragi give this humble dish its own unique character. Paired with a creamy vegetable stew, coconut milk or even a simple curry, Ragi Appam makes for a wholesome meal that feels like a little taste of home.
