Ragi Almonds Brownie/Finger Millet Almonds Brownie

These are gluten free brownies that are decadent,cakey , fudgy and absolutely addictive. After I had baked Buckwheat Walnut brownies (recipe to follow shortly), I decided to make similar brownie using Ragi flour with Almonds and yes, it indeed was delightful in taste

Ragi (Finger Millet) is healthy, nutritional flour and aids weight loss.  It has high protein and mineral content. It is an ideal source of protein for vegetarians Combined with nuts, these brownies are really delicious and amazing in taste

*Add a handful of chocolate chips for double chocolate brownies.
