Ragi – Why is it good for you and your toddler?
Ragi / nachni/ finger millet is one of the best nutrient loaded cereals with a good amount of calcium, iron, protein, fibre etc.
It’s especially good for kids and lactating mothers because of its high calcium content. All you moms and moms to be, try out some yummy ragi koozh or ragi ambli, your body will thank you for it.

Can I use ragi flour available in market to make dosa for my 8 mo
You may.
I have sprouted multigrain ragi hurihittu home made. My lo is 20 months old he wants to eat chewy food than malt and ganji. I use that same powder for making dosa mixing with milk curd and dedicated coconut.
