Ingredients
For the Ragi Base
- ½ cup Ragi Flour
- 2 cup Water
For the Sweet Ragi Malt
- ½ cup Ragi Mixture cooked
- ½ cup Milk
- 2 tsp Jaggery
- 1 tsp Ghee
For the Savory Ragi Malt
- ½ cup Ragi Mixture cooked
- ⅛ tsp Cumin Seeds
- ⅛ tsp Asafoetida Powder
- ½ Onion finely chopped, optional
- 1 Tbsp Coriander finely chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the ragi flour and water. Whisk thoroughly to prevent lumps.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. This creates a smooth, cooked ragi base for the malt.
- Divide the cooked ragi mixture into two equal portions. One portion will be used for the sweet malt, and the other for the savory malt.
- For the sweet ragi malt, take one portion of the cooked ragi mixture and place it in a saucepan. Add milk, jaggery, and ghee. Stir well to combine.
- Heat gently over low heat for 2-5 minutes, or until the jaggery dissolves completely and the malt is warmed through. Serve hot or warm.
- For the savory ragi malt, take the other portion of the cooked ragi mixture and place it in a bowl. Add cumin seeds, asafoetida powder, chopped onion (if using), and chopped coriander. Mix well.
- Season with salt to taste. Mix thoroughly and serve chilled.
