-Ramya Hetal replied. hi, i was struggling to make raagi, this one finally worked for me on satrday.i used laxmi brand raagi flour, it was clean.
1 tblspn of ragi flour, 1 tbsp of rice flour,1 glss of water or milk.for thicker consistency, add more raagi.
recipe--in a vessel,take the flour in a cup, add water/milk slowly, mixing it into smooth paste. Heat another vessle,until the water/milk boils, and then add the dissolved flour solution slowly to the boiling water (milk), stirring it with a spoon or egg beater to avoid the formation of lumps. If you add the flour mix drectly to water before the boiling stage, the flour will separate and you have to throw it away (which happened to me alot), so wait for water (milk) to start boiling, then add the flour mix(flour mixed with water/milk).
Reduce the heat and boil it for 5 mts, stirring occasnlly. Add sugar or jaggery per your taste and pinch of cardamom (elaichi) powder.
since i dont plan to give jaggery or sugar(ne rtficial sweetness) for another 6 months to nirja, i added banana puree to it.she liked that. plain raagi malt was heavy for nirja, so i gave her raagi with rice flour.actual recipe doesnt have rice flour.
hope this helps.
