Ragi and Jowar Chila

With all the superfoods and healthy alternatives becoming much easier to procure, we decided to go back to some Indian basics. Ragi and Jowar flour, common Indian household names, I personally shied away from for the longest time. (Blame inexperienced taste buds.) Breakfast was an upgrade from the regular besan chila to a ragi and jowar version of it.
