Ragi Flakes Upma with Ripe Beans
High in Calcium and Iron, essential for bone health, best first food, healthiest whole grain, oh my… What not have you heard about Ragi??? True that. It’s a Super Food. And this Ragi Upma makes the easiest breakfast again and the best way to give Ragi for babies or toddlers. You can give this Ragi Upma with Ragi Flakes to your baby after 8 months without salt and sugar.
Here for a twist, I’ve used pepper to spice it up, which is good to cure cough and cold in babies or toddlers. So Ragi Upma with Ragi Flakes makes a good monsoon/winter breakfast for your baby or toddler. The addition of Ripe Beans or called Hannu Hurulikaayi in Karnataka can be altered by using Rajma, Peas, etc.
Method :
1. Wash ripe beans and cook them on low flame for 10 mins or 3 whistles in a pressure cooker.
2. Alongside soak Ragi Flakes in water for 5 mins, drain well and let it rest in a colander for 5 more minutes.
3. Take oil in a pan and temper mustard seeds, curry leaves. Add green chilly and onion and fry well. Add boiled Ripe Beans, turmeric powder, pepper powder, and mix well.
4. Add the drained Ragi Flakes, coconut, salt, sugar, coriander, lemon, and again mix well, close the pan and simmer for 5 minutes mixing twice in between. And your Ragi Flakes Upma should be ready now.
- Note: Here I’ve used Ripe Beans which are not sun-dried hence there is no soaking time like peas. If you are using Rajma, soak it overnight and cook it for 3 whistles.
