Finger Millet (Ragi) Porridge
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Ragi (Finger Millet)
1 cup milk , or as needed(see note)
2 cups water
1/4 tsp cardamom powder (or as per taste)
Sugar to taste
Preparation Method:
Slightly roast the powder first in medium flame till aromatic, around 3-5 minutes. Make sure you dont burn the powder. This step is to eliminate any raw smell from the porridge. Set aside.
Alternatively take a saucepan and heat the water till lukewarm. You can add the roasted powder without heating the water directly but I personally find that heating the water (even slightly) helps to avoid lumps. Add the powder to the water.
Keep stirring until it gets well mixed. Add the cardamom powder to it.
Bring it to a boil. Add milk. You can add more or less milk depending on your taste. Add sugar to taste and serve hot.
