Ragi Malt
This is one dish which we make often for breakfast. I am not sure why i haven't posted it so far. Recently one of my viewer asked me to post this recipe. Immediately i made it and sharing it here.
Ragi Flour is a primarily a powder food, made out of Ragi grain. It is finger millet powder. It has high protein and mineral content. This is an ideal source of protein for vegetarians. Ragi flour has a low-fat content along with the rich amount of fibres adds to the already long list of ragi flour benefits. The low-fat content aids in weight.

Hello Aarthi,
I tried this recipe as it is very nutritious. I added palm jaggery just like you. But the moment I add the jaggery, the ragi malt gets segregated ( it is like milk and ragi look separated), and the consistency is not good at all. Any idea why this happens?
Thanks !!
Aarthi
Add jaggery only taking it off the flame. if u cook after adding jaggery then it will get separated
