It is rich in fiber and wholesome. The Malt is filling and nutritious too. Indeed one can have this daily or even alternate days.
Ragi malt ingredients
Ragi Flour - Use sprouted ragi flour or the regular ones.
Water - We dissolve the ragi flour in water and then bring them to the porridge consistency.
Milk - Gives a creamy texture to the milk.
Jaggery - Use powdered organic Jaggery. Organic Jaggery will be impurity or dirt free and hence it's safe and easy to use in ragi milk. If using normal Jaggery, you may have to melt them in water. Strain and remove the impurities and then use them.
Cardamom Powder - Gives a heavenly flavor to the ragi malt. If using the whole cardamom you may crush and then use.
Nuts - Use any nuts of your choice to garnish the ragi malt. My personal favorite is crushed Almond and Pistachios.
