    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.

    Ragi Malt Benefits

    • controls diabetics
    • helps in weight loss
    • rich in iron so helps with anemia
    • good for you
    • strengthens muscles and bones

    This is such a healthy and filling breakfast. You can feed this for babies as well. Ragi is a great food when you are in diet. Even if you are not in diet, you can take this atleast once a week. There is another version which is a spicy version, will share that soon. I hope you will try this out and let me know how it turns out for you.
     

    How to Make Ragi Malt

      @Anonymoussprouted ragi is more nutritious for babies. But store bought ones can be given as well. Make sure it is clean ones.

      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 !!

        Add jaggery only taking it off the flame. if u cook after adding jaggery then it will get separated
