Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 glasses of water
• 2 tbsp ragi flour
• 3 tbsp sugar/jaggery as per the sweetness required
• 1 cup milk
• ½ tsp cardamom powder
• ½ tsp ghee
• 1 tbsp finely chopped dry fruits kaju,badam

Instructions

 

• Take a sauce pan, into it, add water and bring it to a boil.
• Meanwhile in a small bowl, add ragi flour, add little water and make a paste without any lumps by stirring well.
• When the water comes to a boil, add sugar and stir well until it gets dissolved.
• Add cardamom powder into it and mix.
• Add the ragi paste into the boiling water and stir immediately and continuously to avoid any lumps.
• Cook it for 3-4 minutes on low flame.
• Finally, add milk and mix well.
• Garnish generously with dry fruits and some ghee.
• Enjoy this delicious ragi java.

Notes

1.I have added sugar but it can be replaced with jaggery too as jaggery is a high source of iron and makes the dessert/drink delicious.
2.Also curd can be added and mixed in place of milk.
3.Never ever add the ragi flour directly into the boiling water as adding the flour directly makes the ragi malt full of lumps.
4.Adding ghee is optional but tastes delicious.
