Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

For a vegan version, substitute dairy milk with coconut milk or almond milk, which add subtle flavors and make the ganji even more refreshing for summer.
To avoid lumps, mix ragi flour with a small amount of cold water to form a smooth paste before adding it to boiling water or milk.
If you prefer a thinner or more drinkable consistency, adjust the water-to-milk ratio or strain the prepared ganji through a fine mesh sieve before serving.
Chill the ganji in the refrigerator and serve over ice for a cooling afternoon beverage, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of roasted nuts or seeds for extra texture.
