What is Ragi Sangati?
The traditional Andhra finger millet meal — cooked fresh in our Milton Keynes kitchen.
The Grain That Andhra Lives By
Ragi — finger millet — has been grown in the Deccan Plateau for over four thousand years. In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, it is not a trend or a health food movement. It is the everyday grain of the countryside: drought-resistant, densely nutritious, deeply rooted in the culture of the region. Naturally gluten-free, high in calcium, iron, dietary fibre and protein, with a low glycaemic index that makes it one of the most nutritionally complete grains available anywhere in the world.
What is Ragi Sangati?
Ragi Sangati is finger millet flour cooked in water until it forms a soft, dense, smooth ball — the finger millet ball known across the border in Karnataka as ragi mudde — earthy in flavour, heavy with nutrition, and completely satisfying in a way that lighter food is not. It is the evening meal of coastal Andhra villages. In Rayalaseema, it is comfort. For the Telugu diaspora in the UK, it is memory made edible — the taste of a grandmother's kitchen, of a village in Andhra Pradesh, of a childhood that no London restaurant has ever tried to recreate.
It is served alongside curries, pappu and pulusu — not as a side dish but as the centrepiece of the meal. You take a piece of the Sangati, dip it into the curry or dal, and eat it in one go. There is a rhythm to eating it. Once you understand the rhythm, you understand why Andhra swears by it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ragi Sangati gluten-free?+
Finger millet is naturally gluten-free, and Ragi Sangati itself is made without wheat, barley or rye. Our kitchen also cooks with wheat, so if you need to avoid gluten strictly, please tell us before you order.
Is Ragi Sangati healthy?+
Finger millet is one of the most nutritious grains available — high in calcium, iron and fibre, low on the glycaemic index. It has been a dietary staple in Andhra Pradesh for over four thousand years.
What does Ragi Sangati taste like?+
Earthy, slightly nutty, with a density that lighter grains do not have. It is not a strong flavour on its own — the character comes from the curries and dal it is served with. The combination is greater than either alone.
