Ragi Sankati is a traditional dish that has been made and enjoyed by generations of people, but still I wasn't aware of it until the weekend that passed.
Anyways I wouldn't boast of its taste when eaten as it is. It becomes delicious only when brilliant combinations of side dishes are made for it.
Kaaram (spice powder) is a simple side dish made for this dish and I bet you would love the combi. The fiery spice makes my tongue drool :)
Jaggery combination is the second best since I love making any dish sweet :) Ghee muddha with jaggery was terrific.
The other good combinations are typical sambhar and salted butter milk. They go really good as well.
Ragi is a natural body coolant hence this dish is so perfect for this scorching summer. Do you need any better reason than this to try it out right away!!!
