For many people, the afternoon tea is not complete without snacks. Instead of eating high-calorie fried foods, try the nutritious, easy-to-make and delicious grilled ragi cookies below.
Why choose ragi as an ingredient?
Ragi (also known as finger foods) is a grain rich in fiber, calcium and protein. According to July Stefanski, nutritionist and lecturer at York College of Pennsylvania (USA): Ragi helps stabilize blood sugar, increase satiety and support weight control. This is an ideal choice for those who want to snack healthily without worrying about gaining weight".
Unlike traditional cookies that contain a lot of butter, this type of cake is baked and used olive oil, a source of heart-healthy fat.
