Ingredients

  • 1 heaped tablespoon ragi flour
  • 1 and 1/2 cups hot milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 3 to 4 strands saffron
  • 1 tablespoon nuts chopped I used cashew and badam

Instructions

  • Heat ghee in a sauce pan - add the nuts fry till golden brown. Remove it and set aside.
  • Add ragi flour and saute for 3-5mins in low flame. Now add 1/2 cup milk.
  • And add 1/2 cup water whisk well to avoid lumps. Boil in low flame, stir continuously.
  • Cook until it becomes thick and creamy in consistency. It will be slightly shiny and this shows the flour is cooked completely.
  • Now add sugar along with remaining 1 cup milk. Whisk well. Add sugar only after the flour is cooked completely.
  • Add cardamom powder along with saffron. Cook for 2 mins in low flame.
  • Add fried nuts and switch off. Adjust with hot milk if the consistency is too thick after some time.
  • Serve Ragi Kheer hot or cold as per your preference.

Notes

  • Make sure to add sugar only after the flour is cooked completely.
  • Add only hot milk else lumps will form easily. Keep whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
  • The consistency should be little runny as it thickens a bit with time so adjust accordingly.
