Finger Millet|Ragi|Nachani|Kurakkan|Raggi|Eleusine Corucana|Mandua 100g Commonly known as Kurakkan or Kurahan (Kezhvaraku in Tamil) finger millet is one of the main and oldest crops that had been traditionally grown in Sri Lanka at large. The staple grain has been able to assure food and nutrient security for Sri Lankans for many centuries while contributing to improving their health. However, with urbanisation, and societal transformation that had been taking place in the country for the past decades, consumption of food made of refined wheat flour increased while the popularity of many traditional and healthy cuisines saw a decline. Among them was a range of foods prepared with milled finger millet such as Kurakkan Thapala, Roti, and Pittu which had once been staples of Sri Lankans. During World War II, when the production of rice could not fulfill the food requirement in the country, the British imported rice as well as wheat flour. Nevertheless, during that time the consumption of foods made of wheat flour such as bread was limited to the wealthy. Villagers, however, still depended on rice as well as other wild foods such as yams, jackfruit, and millets. Millets could successfully replace rice in fighting hunger as well as fulfilling the nutrient requirements. With the introduction of the open economy, imported food became abundant in the country. Wheat flour became readily available and there was a gradual decline in the cultivation of staple crops. Wheat flour is known as all-purpose flour and its convenience in preparing a vast array of food increased its popularity. · Culinary uses, Kurakkan is a highly nutritious and filling food. Kurakkan Thalapa was one of the main staples of Sri Lankans. To prepare foods with Kurakkan the grains have to be milled. In the past, people of this country used stone-made apparatus known as Kurahan Gala to hand-mill Kurakkan. Using Kurahan Gala, a fine powder of finger millet can be manually obtained. Kurakkan Thalapa is prepared by cooking Kurakkan flour in hot water until a rough paste is formed. They are then shaped into large-sized balls and eaten with a thick curry known as Anama. Wew Malu Anama (inland fish curry), Kollu Anama (Curried horse gram) Mun Ata Anama (curried green gram) are some of the popular nutrient-dense accompaniments to Kurakkan Thalapa which is a filling dish. People in remote areas in Sri Lanka still prefer eating Kurakkan Thalapa as it provides energy to toil and does not make one feel hungry for extended hours. Apart from Kurakkan Thalapa, Kurakkan roti, and Kurakkan Pittu are other staples of Sri Lankans. Although Kurakkan bread is not a traditional food in Sri Lanka, they are available in supermarkets and are a popular substitute for refined-flour bread. Kurakkan Helapa is a popular sweet dish in Sri Lanka. Kurakkan porridge is a popular food drink among those who are obsessed with shedding extra body fat. · Health benefits, Kurakkan is a highly nutritious and healthy staple. Finger millet is high in dietary fiber. As per studies, the non-starchy polysaccharides in finger millet help increase faecal bulk to relieve constipation while lowering blood lipids. Kurakkan has a low glycemic index and is gluten-free. Apart from dietary fibre, finger millet contains carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. This grain is rich in calcium too. Hence, the consumption of this cereal assures bone health. Kurakkan also contains anti-oxidants. Epidemiological studies have shown that whole grain cereals including finger millet can protect against cardiovascular diseases such as diabetes as well as gastrointestinal cancers. Sri Lankan ethnomedical practitioners recommend Kurakkan to be regularly consumed for those with diabetes. The polyphenols in finger millet are found to be enzyme inhibitory and anti-cataractogenic. Diabetes and obesity have become serious health issues in the world at present and proper eating can help mitigate such conditions. Unlike the consumption of food made of wheat flour, foods made of Kurakkan do not contribute to obesity. Substituting food made of wheat flour with those made of finger millet flour can be a wise decision to maintain sustainable health. · Shipping and Handling Policies, 1.
