Ragi / Raagi Porridge

Ingredients;-
Ragi
Ghee
Jaggery
Milk
Method:-
You can soak it for 12 hours, then drain and put it in a cloth. Keep it moist so that it gets sprouts. This will take another 12 hours. Then dry roast it or dry in the shade in a hot place. Then powder it finely, sieve well.
-->

If you get fine quality powder, that is best.
Take 2 or 3 spoons of powder, add water and make a smooth, watery paste. Then keep over slow flame and keep on stirring. This will start to cook and solidify. The color will change, you will know. A nice aroma will come. Take off from fire. Add a little ghee, jaggary taste. If you are feeding him semi solids you can add milk to it. Feed when warm to the baby. You can add a little boliled and mashed potato, carrot and other veggies the same way or with a little salt instead of jaggery

  4. hi swapna nice blog.
    am baby is 4 months old and am starting him on solids.his doctor asked us to start with vegetable and then fruit puree's and asked us to start even ragi ,but some of my friends were saying ragi cannot be digested by small babies and we should start later on after 8 months and not now.

  15. Do ragi flour needs to be roasted before use

    ReplyDelete
  16. it is better to be roasted before grinding.its just to obtain fine dry powder after grinding. i used to dry roast ragi and wheat and then mill it into powder n seive it using fine net.
