Ingredients
Ragi : 1 cupWater : 2 cups
Jaggery : 1-1/4th cups
Salt : 3/4 th tsp Cardamom : 1/2 tsp
Poppy seeds: 2 tbs
Dry Coconut flakes :2 tbs
Method
1. Take one cup Ragi. Soak overnight.
2. Next day grind ragi with water in a mixer. Extract the milk using a fine sieve or cloth so that you get 2-2 1/2 Cups juice.
3. Boil it in a thick bottomed pan. Then reduce the heat and add jaggery and salt. You have to stir continuously or else the mixture will stick to the bottom of the pan.
4. Stir continuously for 25-30 minutes, till mixture is of a thick(muddhe) consistency and there is a shiny coating on the mixture.
5. Add cardamom powder. Mix. Pour in a greased plate. Add dry coconut flakes & poppy seeds .Cool till set. Cut into squares or diamonds. Enjoy with ghee(clarified butter).
Note: Shelf life of this is 2 days if refrigerated.
we did it, but shiny coating did not appear even after 25-30 min.. does it look milky and opaque in the beginning??
ReplyDeleteactually what we did is, after extracting milk- we left if for a while and thick milk had got settled down, so my mom removed the upper water and used only milky part.. can we do that??
ReplyDeleteShambhu , you don't have to take out the water. You need that water ,to get the muddhe kind of consistency.If you take all the water out it will get all lumpy. Yes it dose look like milk in the beginning.You have to stir it continuously.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will try again.
How should be the grinding... Like paste or watery?
