Ragi Kali Recipe:

Hello readers, How are you doing? There was a short gap in my blogging owing to few health reasons and certain technical issues in running the site.I have been trying to get back to normalcy but somehow it just got postponed.It is scorching hot everywhere and Delhi touched 114 F last week. My best half was craving for the traditional Ragi Kali which is the most common food in South India and this Ragi Kali Recipe is a natural coolant. I haven’t so far tried this version of Ragi Kali. I took help of my in-laws over video call and made this. We have tasted koozh made of pearl millet and I love them so crazy. This Ragi Kali and Koozh have become my most favourite dishes now.I am even able to take it all three times a day. Trust me it is drool-worthy.

P.S:

This Ragi Kali recipe is slightly varied from the Karnataka way of making Ragi Mudde.

Dissolving /Mixing the flour with water helps in quick cooking. Traditionally the flour should be added to the boiling water and stirred continuously.

Adding oil helps in easy stirring. You can skip it too.

The consistency is almost loose and it thickens as the ragi kali cools.

Skip salt for babies below 1 year.

I have used broken raw rice. You can use the normal boiled rice or choose to skip it too.

This Ragi Kali recipe is the precursor to Ragi Koozh Recipe.

Ensure to have introduced all items before and eliminate allergies.

Always have a word with your doctor before introducing any new food to babies.
