Ingredients

Instructions

  • Grind the almonds into a slightly coarse powder and set aside.
  • Take ragi in a saucepan and add one cup of water. Whisk it well, making sure there are no lumps or dry bits of flour. Add the remaining water and mix.
  • Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring to a boil. Keep stirring and let the ragi cook (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add ghee and continue cooking. The mixture will thicken and turn glossy.
  • Add jaggery and mix well. The ragi is cooked once it is thick and glossy.
  • Add the ground almonds and cardamom powder. Mix well.
  • Add milk and simmer for one minute. Mix well, making sure there are no lumps.

Notes

Mix the ragi and water well before putting it on heat. Make sure there are no lumps or dry bits of the flour.
Stir well before serving as the mixture tends to settle down. Serve the malt warm.
