Fitness lovers are going gaga about it and celebrities cannot stop gushing about it! While you can easily grab a packet in stores and online, but it's a rather easy task to bake a fresh batch of ragi chips at home too!
Unless you have been living under a rock, you must be aware of the trend of ragi chips or nachni chips.
Ragi became a sensation last decade. The superfood has been an indispensable part of Indian kitchens since time immemorial, especially in parts of rural India. The coarse and earthy flavor of Ragi makes it an excellent baking staple.
Off-late it is giving oily potato chips a run for its money too.
It is not for nothing that the millet is back in vogue.
WHY Though?...
Benefits Of Ragi -
