    What is Ragi Malt:

    Ragi Malt is a traditional beverage prepared with Ragi Flour, Water, and Milk. It is usually flavored with cardamom and sweetened with any Palm Sugar.

    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.

    FAQ's

    Difference between ragi Malt and ragi ambli ?

    Ragi malt is a sweet version and ragi ambli is a savory version. In Ragi Ambi instead of milk and Jaggery powder, we add buttermilk and salt. Cook the ragi powder with water and then cool down. Once cool down add buttermilk required salt. You can also add in green chili, onion, and a few curry leaves.

    How to prepare Ragi flour?

    Dry roast the finger millet until it slightly changes in color. Allow it to cool down and then grind to a fine powder. Let it cool and then sieve and store. Use as and when needed for preparing any porridge or malt.
    You may use sprouted ragi to prepare sprouted ragi powder.

    Instant Ragi Malt Powder

    Mix ragi flour, Palm sugar or Jagger powder, and cardamom powder and store. You may use this as an instant ragi malt drink powder. You may just cook the powder with water and then add milk for a quick ragi drink.
