Ragi Porridge

Tips & Variations

  • Its very filling and make sure you cook it to the right consistency.
  • Use good quality ragi flour or finger millet flour. We can also use sprouted ragi flour.
  • The porridge is suitable for all age groups. Right from toddlers to adults.
  • Instead of Jaggery you can also use Palm jaggery. It give a more intense and deep color.
  • I am using organic and Pure Jaggery powder and hence i added directly to the porridge. Else you can dissolve in water and strain to remove the impurities and add back to the porridge.
