Ragi Semiya Recipe
Ragi Semiya is a quick healthy breakfast made by sautéing ragi semiya with tempered spices and onions. It is health, filling and tasty upma which is a great choice for breakfast or dinner. It is a good variation from the regular upma or semiya. Ragi is high in calcium and fibre, so it keeps you full for longer and is easy to digest too.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups ragi idiyappam
- ¼ cup onion finely chopped
- salt to taste
To temper:
- 2 teaspoon oil
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- ½ teaspoon urad dal
- few nos curry leaves
- 2 small red chillies
- a pinch hing
Instructions
- Make ragi idiyappam first.You can use readymade ragi sevai too, make it as per pack instructions and proceed.I used homemade ragi idiyappam.Let it cool down for a while. Separate it and set aside.
- Heat oil in a pan - add the items listed under ' to temper' let it splutter.
- Add hing, add onion along with salt so that onions gets sauted quick.Saute until golden.
- Finally add cooked ragi semiya / ragi idiyappam.Toss it well.Adjust salt at this stage.
- Serve Ragi Semiya hot!
Notes
- Cooking – I cook ragi idiyappam until it is soft but still holding its shape. Do not over cook or it becomes mushy.
- Separate strands – I separate the ragi idiyappam after it cools so the strands do not stick together. This helps them cook evenly.
- Drain well – I drain any excess water from the cooked semiya before adding it to the tempering. Too much water can make it moist.
- Tempering – I let the mustard seeds splutter and urad dal turn golden before adding onions. This bring out all the flavours nicely.
- Adjust salt – I taste at the end and adjust salt as needed.
