Ingredients for Ragi Milk Peda Kozhukattai Recipe
- Rice Flour / Arisi Mavu - ½ cup
- Ragi Flour / Finger Millet Flour - ½ cup
- Salt a pinch
- Ghee - 1 tbsp
- Sweet Khoya / Paal Kova - 1 cup
- Water - 1.5 cup

Rice Flour / Arisi Mavu:
Rice flour is a type of flour that is made from finely ground rice. It differs from rice starch, which is typically made by steeping rice in lye. Rice flour is a popular wheat flour substitute.
Ragi Flour / Finger Millet Flour :
Ragi consumption on a regular basis can help lower your risk of diabetes. This is due to the presence of polyphenols and dietary fibres in ragi. When compared to other whole wheat grains, ragi has a high fibre content. Consuming ragi on a regular basis lowers and stabilises your blood sugar levels.
Ghee :
Ghee tends to be one of those hyperbole-inducing foods, like macarons and gelato, that people describe quite dramatically as being heavenly or the best thing ever. In actuality, ghee tastes like a cleaner, richer, more decadent version of butter itself.
