Описание: Ragi Manni:
Ragi Manni traditional sweet from Coastal Karnataka which is more like a halwa made by extracting Ragi and coconut milk. A healthy dessert option for your sweet tooth when consumed in moderate quantity: As it resembles a jelly, it’s easy to make kids eat it. Simple, and flavorful Ragi Manni is a must try recipe!

Ingredients:
Ragi/ Finger Millet- 1 cup
Coconut( grated )- 1 cup
Water- 3 cups
Jaggery- 1 cup
Cardamom- 3
Ghee- 3 teaspoon.

Preparation:
Wash and soak Finger Millet for 8 hrs.
Drain the soaked water. Add to a blender along with coconut cardamom and 1.5 cups of water.
Grind it to a smooth batter. Strain it through a cloth and extract milk.
Again add the remaining Fingermillet after milk extraction to blender with 1 cup of water and extract 2nd milk.
Repeat the process one more time with 1/2 cup of water.
I have used Jaggery powder in Video.
If you are using regular jaggery then dissolve jaggery in water and filter it before using.
Add the extracted milk to a pan and start stirring in low flame.
The milk will start thicken in 5-7 mins, from here it may have lumps.
So switch the ladle to a whisk and continue stirring.
After around 8-10 mins the mixture will thicken into a paste, shiny on top.
Now add jaggery water and continue stirring for 10-12 mins and add 1 tablespoon of ghee.
After 10-12mins the mixture will thicken again.
Check for these 5 things before switching off the stove:
1. The mixture should be smooth on top.
2. It Should form bubbles when not stirred.
3. It should fall slowly with gaps in between when poured from ladle.
4. It should leave the sides of the pan( non sticky)
5. It should not stick to wet hands
This ensures that the Ragi is cooked well.
Transfer to a greased plate and smoothen the top.
Tap it and let it cool completely before slicing it.
Try it!
