New Delhi, May 1: As summer approaches, the body craves refreshing options that not only cool it down but also enhance health. One such traditional and beneficial drink gaining popularity is Ragi Ambli. This is not just a beverage; it is a healthy recipe that helps strengthen and cool the body from within.
Ragi Ambli is primarily made from ragi, also known as finger millet, which is considered a superfood due to its rich content of calcium, fiber, iron, and essential nutrients. It is especially beneficial for those who feel fatigued quickly during the summer or suffer from digestive issues.
The preparation of Ragi Ambli is quite simple. First, ragi flour is mixed with water to create a thin batter. This mixture is then cooked on low heat until it thickens and becomes smooth. Small balls are formed and left to ferment in water overnight. The next day, the mixture is mashed and buttermilk is added, along with finely chopped onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. This results in a delicious and nutritious drink.
Ragi Ambli is also considered a natural probiotic drink, especially when fermented. It helps promote good bacteria in the gut, strengthening the entire digestive system.
During the hot season, when the body heats up, Ragi Ambli acts as a natural cooling agent. It keeps the stomach light and helps prevent dehydration. It is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from constipation or acidity, as the fiber content aids in keeping the digestive tract clean and facilitates quicker digestion.
Additionally, it can assist in weight loss by making one feel full for longer periods, thus reducing the frequency of hunger pangs and preventing overeating.
