With all the superfoods and healthy alternatives becoming much easier to procure, we decided to go back to some Indian basics. Ragi and Jowar flour, common Indian household names, I personally shied away from for the longest time. (Blame inexperienced taste buds.) Breakfast was an upgrade from the regular besan chila to a ragi and jowar version of it.
Another Ragi Flour favourite here.
