Instructions
Ragi Malt Sweet
- To a bowl add 1/2 cup ragi flour. Now add 1 cup water to it.
- Whisk it well without any lumps then set it aside.
- Add 2 cups water to a pan. Let it boil.
- Once water starts to boil - whisk the ragi flour slurry.
- Add the ragi flour slurry. Just rinse with little water if there are sediments.
- Whisk it well first to avoid lumps.
- Now switch to a spatula and keep stirring and cooking in low medium flame.
- The mixture will start to thicken but keep stirring continuously.
- Keep cooking until it turns thick and shiny.
- You can see how thick it is. It thickens more after cooling down so switch it off accordingly.
- Transfer half of the porridge to a bowl for salt version.
- To the remaining porridge in the pan - add 2 tablespoon sugar, 1 cup milk and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder.
- Whisk it well and switch off.
- Ragi malt or ragi sweet porridge is ready to serve.
- Serve ragi malt hot or warm!
Ragi Porridge Salt
- With the reserved ragi porridge we can prepare ragi salt porridge. Let the mixture cool down.
- Add salt to taste and 1/2 cup thick buttermilk to it.
- Whisk it well until smooth.
- Ragi porridge salt version is ready
- Serve it warm or chilled.
Notes
- Cook in low flame and keep stirring to avoid lumps.
- Adjust sweetness according to your taste. You can add any sweetener : jaggery powder or jaggery syrup or cane sugar etc.
- The consistency is purely your preference. If you want it a bit thin then add little more milk or buttermilk. If you want it thick then this will be perfect.
- After the tempering ingredients are added you can either have the porridge as such or strain it and then serve.
- For diabetics you can skip sweetener completely.
