Finger millet or ragi is a rich source of natural calcium and is good for growing children and ageing people. Regular consumption of finger millet can keep bone diseases at bay. This mug cake is my fool proof recipe which I make very often for my kids. They take less time, less ingredients and they are perfect size for an evening snack. Ragi Choco mug cake is so healthy and a great filling for the kids returning from school. Ragi cake with chocolate flavour is made rich using nuts and coconut oil. Kids love these kind of fancy mug cakes. Do try it for your kids without fail. Happy baking!
