    Instant Ragi Sevai is made with store-bought sevai and gets done instantly. You can just about add anything to this sevai to make it more interesting and appealing.

    First of all, when I was thinking about what else to make for breakfast that will also include millets, I opted to buy this ragi sevai. These hardly take about 2 to 3 minutes to get cooked. Finally, it's all about tempering with different spices and vegetables to make a filling breakfast.

    I kept it to the usual onion and other spices and it was all done in under 15 mins or less.

    We are doing the BM#93 week 2 where I am doing Easy Breakfast dishes and nothing can be easier than this.

      These millet based sevais are a great way of adding Millet in diet. Also they are so easy to make and is really helpful during the morning rush. The simple version with onions looks fantastic.

      Ragi sevai is a great substitute for regular semya - has a nice nutty taste. Love your quick and easy ragi semya recipe.

      love sevai for its simplicity! Ragi sevai is a nice variety to our regular one. I have always steamed the sevai after soaking it in water, is this a different brand valli? Love how fluffy the upma is!!

      This is instant version Priya, takes only 3 mins to be soaked in boiling water, its done. However, I had to sprinkle some water while it was getting cooked as I hadn't soaked properly. Else very quick.
