                                                                          Ragi or Finger millet is especially valuable as it contains the amino acid Methionine, which is lacking in the diets of hundreds of millions of the poor who live on
starchy staples such as cassava,plantain, polished rice, or maize meal. Finger millet can be ground and cooked into cakes,puddings or porridge.  The straw from finger millet is used as animal
fodder.  Ragi is cleaned , dried and powdered. This ragi flour is used to make different dishes.
