Cooking with millets has become a part of our healthy diet and for the third day of Blogging Marathon, I chose this very easy recipe using Ragi Sevai. This is readily available in stores and we just need to cook for a very few minutes and prepare according to taste. I chose to prepare Lemon Sevai with it and it turned out well.
