Ragi spaghetti is an ideal dish to be taken during breakfast. It is easily digestable and very simple to make. As I already mentioned earlier, Ragi is highly nutritious and rich in iron, calcium and protein.
Spaghetti is a kind of pasta popular in Italian cuisine. It is a long, thin, cylindrical pasta made of semolina and water. My American neigbour and friend got this ragi spaghetti from Auroville. I used garlic sauce to go with ragi spaghetti. It turned out well and tastes yummy.
Those who are on diet and diabetic patients, can be taken ragi spaghetti once in 15 days.
