Roasted Ragi Flakes Chivda

Posted by Divya on July 12, 2018 Filed Under: Snacks & Appetizers Tagged With: Gluten Free, Healthy, Kids Friendly, Millets, Vegan

Roasted Ragi Chivda or namkeen is a perfect non-fried healthy snack which you can enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee. The combination of roasted ragi flakes, crunchy peanuts, rich cashews, sweet raisins & curry leaves is absolutely heavenly & full of flavours. You can even carry it while travelling as it makes you feel full for longer because of its rich fibre content.

Ragi, Nachni or “Finger Millet” as called in English has become quite popular these days among people because of its various health benefits. Though it was consumed in ancient times also (especially in South India), however it has recently been popularized again as it is gluten free and helps in weight loss.

It is a rich source of fibre packed with Vitamin D, amino acids and calcium. Many nutritionists consider it to be one of the healthiest grains and beneficial especially for diabetic patients. These days Ragi is available in market in form of flour, cookies, crackers and even flakes. Many people even make ladoos, dosa or porridge using it. In itself Ragi does not have any taste of its own but you get a nice nutty flavour on roasting it.

In one of my earlier post, I had shared the method of making Roasted Poha Chiwda. I tried making Ragi Chiwda on similar lines using ragi flakes and got perfectly crunchy delicious chiwda. I have used here “Health Sutra” brand Ragi flakes/Poha which I bought from Big basket. You can even buy it from Amazon.

I have used olive oil in making this namkeen. You can use any other cooking oil or even ghee. The spices can be adjusted as per your own taste. I have used mango powder along with raisins here as it gives a sweet sour flavour to the mixture. Adding mango powder is totally optional.

Hope you would like this Roasted Ragi Flakes Chivda recipe!! 🙂  Would love to hear your feedback in comments section below.
