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.

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!!
Srivalli says
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.
