You can add green chillies as per your taste. Adding ginger will enhance the taste further.

I prefer using ghee for my cooking as my lil one is not even an year old. You can use oil as well , depending on your style of cooking.

Raagi flour is also known as nachaani at many places. It’s very healthy for your infants.
