Recipe
Ragi Porridge - for babies
Wellcure
Ragi is a variety of millets rich in calcium and iron. Here’s a recipe for making a simple recipe with the highly nutritious ragi- ragi porridge! It is ideal to be used as a natural, first-food for babies. It is a great alternative to processed instant foods. The method used here is the conventional method which takes a bit more time as it requires sprouting. However, it is higher in nutrition and easy to digest.
Prepare the porridge with some simple variations like ginger, cinnamon to a healthy breakfast option for adults or as a light meal when wanting to give a break to your digestive system.
Wellcure Tip: The sprouted ragi powder needed for this recipe can be prepared beforehand and stored. It stores well for many months.
Ingredients
- Sprouted ragi powder: 3 tsp
- Water: ½ - 1 cup
- Jaggery powder - as per taste
- Coconut milk: ¼ cup (optional)
Method
Pre-preparation: to make sprouted ragi powder
- Wash the ragi well and soak it for 10 hours.
- Drain the water, wash and drain again and tie the ragi in a clean cotton cloth for sprouting.
- Let it sprout in a warm, dark place. This may take a day or two.
- Now spread out the ragi and let it dry in the shade on a clean cloth.
- Make sure it is completely dry. Now it is ready for roasting.
- Take a thick bottomed pan and dry roast the ragi in small batches.
- Roast till it is just warm taking care not to burn it.
- Let the ragi cool and then powder it fine in a mixie.
- Use a fine mesh cloth or a small holed sieve and sieve the ragi to get fine powder.
- Store the ragi powder in an airtight container for further use
Preparing the porridge:
- Take ragi powder in a pot. Mix with water well so there are no lumps.
- Cook on a medium flame while continuously stirring. Wait till the porridge thickens.
- Add jaggery as per taste and mix well.
- The mixture can be watered down as per needs with a little coconut milk.
Wellcure Tip: add some extra water as porridge tends to thicken after some time. A pinch of cardamom powder can be added for extra flavour.
No time for sprouting! Use ragi flour instead - try the Instant Ragi Porridge!
