Finger millet/ Ragi is a very rich source of calcium and iron. To make these healthier, I used jaggery, which again is rich in iron. Ghee, cow ghee, which doctors advise as better than vegetable oils too, when used in small quantity. Earlier, I've bought small ragi balls/ladoos for 50 Rs. , while if you make at home, at that price, I got around 40 balls ! Wanted to try it, quick, did it in microwave, can be cooked over gas too.
Ingredients
Finger millet flour 2 cups
jaggery 1/2 cup
ghee 2 tbsp
cardamom pdr 1/2 tsp
milk 200 ml approximately, or add water to cook
Method
In a microwave safe pan, I added ragi flour, around 1 1/2 tbsp of ghee, mixed it well
Microwave high for 1 minute, 30 seconds, remove, mix well.
Again keep it for a minute, mix well, repeat the process once more.
Then if the nice aroma of flour cooked comes add jaggery, if not cook for another minute.
Mixed jaggery well, it was not powder, hence I had to keep mashing the lumps well, by adding milk
Micro high for a minute, remove mix well, micro high for another minute
If jaggery is well mixed, add cardamom pdr, and 1/2 tbsp of ghee, cook it for another minute
When warm make small balls/ ladoos, easy to pop into your mouth.
Made it as prasad, tomorrow, to distribute to my friends here, as it is Goddess Saraswati pooja tomorrow, when books are placed in front of the Gods,praying to Goddess to help you study well !
Happy Navaratri to all out there. Wishes to all for good health, happiness and tons of peace. Take care. Keep smiling.
