Before I jump into the ragi buttermilk recipe, let me give you a background about the Ragi as a cereal. Before we know it, summer will be upon us, and many of us would have already begun to start planning for our kids’ activities. Because, during the summer vacation, the last thing we want is to have our kids sitting at home and getting bored.

The next big thing that we parents worry about is our kids’ diet. We always worry too much about whether they are eating right and getting the proper nutrition required for their growth. Especially during vacation time, it becomes less controllable due to the lack of a regular schedule compared to the structured school days.

Furthermore, even if we could make them eat, we are not sure if the kids are consuming food that is appropriate for the weather. Especially in summer, it is equally important to keep the kids well-hydrated and maintain a well-balanced diet to avoid health hazards caused by heat and dehydration.
