Many recipes can be prepared using this millet. Particularly this millet is used in powder form, means the ragi flour. Here I have come up with a salty drink using this healthy millet flour as ‘Salty Ragi Malt‘. The whole process is so simple and hardly it takes few minutes to complete. The buttermilk is added here to adjust the consistency of the drink. If you want you can go with normal water as well. I have used some homemade buttermilk just by mixing curd and water in 1:2 ratio. This salty drink is an amazingly healthy and nutritious choice for people of all age group. If trying for babies, then the seasoning part has to be omitted.
So do try this salty version of Ragi Malt. If you tried my recipe and enjoyed fully, then please share some pictures of your creation with me.

Method :
- In a saucepan, first mix the ragi flour and water till no lumps are there.
- Then cook the ragi mixture for 3-4 minutes.
- When the mixture is heated, it always starts to form lumps immediately, so its always important to keep stirring the mixture continuously.
- Then turn off heat and allow the whole mixture to cool down completely.
- Next add the buttermilk, salt and mix till everything incorporated well.
- Now heat oil in a tadka pan.
- Add hing, mustard seed and allow to splutter.
- Pour this seasoning over the ragi mixture.
- Also add some finely chopped coriander leaves. I don’t prefer to add coriander leaves here, so I have not added.
- Mix everything well and adjust the consistency of the whole drink by adding more or less water / buttermilk.
- Serve this salted ragi malt chilled or as it is !
