Finger Millet Pasta
Finger millet pasta is a type of pasta that is made from finger millet flour, also known as ragi flour. Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) is an ancient grain widely grown in Africa and Asia. It is highly nutritious and is known for its rich content of dietary fiber, protein, and minerals.
To make finger millet pasta, the finger millet flour is mixed with water and sometimes other ingredients like eggs or additional flours, depending on the recipe. The dough is then kneaded and rolled out into thin sheets, which are cut into various pasta shapes like spaghetti, penne, or fusilli. These pasta shapes can be cooked and prepared in a similar way to traditional wheat-based pasta.
Finger millet pasta is a popular alternative for people who are looking for gluten-free options or who want to incorporate more whole grains into their diet. It has a slightly nutty flavor and a unique texture compared to regular pasta. It can be enjoyed with a variety of sauces, vegetables, or meat, just like any other pasta dish.
Due to its nutritional profile, finger millet pasta is considered a healthier alternative to conventional pasta, as it is higher in fiber, protein, and certain minerals. It is a good source of calcium, iron, and antioxidants.
Overall, finger millet pasta offers a nutritious and gluten-free option for pasta lovers while adding variety to their diet.
