Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter

  • Mix ragi flour, buttermilk, and salt in a bowl. The batter should be slightly thicker than pancake batter but pourable.

Sauté the Spices and Vegetables

  • Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, urad dal, chana dal, and asafoetida (if using). Once the seeds splutter, add finely chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté for a minute.

Add Remaining Vegetables and Ragi Batter

  • Add the grated carrots, and stir for another minute. Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the ragi batter, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.

Cook the Ragi Mixture

  • Continue stirring for 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Stir for another 2 minutes.

Set and Serve

  • Lightly grease a baking sheet or plate. Pour the cooked mixture onto the sheet and spread evenly. Let it cool completely before cutting into bars. Garnish with fresh grated coconut (optional).

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Ragi Vegetable Bars

  • For a smoother batter, blend the ragi flour briefly before mixing with buttermilk.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or peas to customize the flavor and nutrition.
  • If the batter seems too thick, add a little more buttermilk; if it’s too thin, add a spoonful of ragi flour.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Cooking is, of course, my passion. I work as a teacher, and my colleagues love to receive recipes and tips from me, just as I enjoy learning from them. My son and husband encourage me to experiment with and innovate new dishes."
