Radha Deep’s Ragi Recipe
Ingredients:
Two cups of ragi; 2 cups of wheat; one cup of sprouted green gram (moong dal in India); two tablespoons of almond; 2 tablespoon of fried gram, one tablespoon of peanuts, a pinch of saffron; 5 cardamoms
Method:
Roast all ingredients, except fried gram, cardamom and saffron. (Roast peanuts separately and remove the outer skin.) Add these two to the roasted mix and grind to a fine flour. Add one tablespoon of the malt thus obtained to 1 cup of warm milk. Add sugar/ sugar substitute or honey as sweetener, for a delicious and healthy beverage.
Cardamom and saffron are storehouses of nutrition containing ample proteins. Minerals like calcium and iron, and Vitamin C. Saffron also contains vitamin A. Besides, the carbohydrates, minerals and fiber of the various grains are counterbalanced by the proteins provided by the green gram lentil and the almonds. Adding fruits and milk to the malt provides essential vitamins and antioxidants. All in all, a fully balanced meal that is delicious and easy to prepare.

One doubt.
Should I wash the ragi and dry it before roasting it. How much should I roast the items?
It is preferable you wash, strain and dry the ragi before you roast it.
It is very easy to roast ragi. First place the pan on a low flame. Put in only a handful of the ragi you want to roast. As soon as the ragi is done it turns white and bigger in size (just like popcorn). Remove this and add the next handful of ragi to the pan, until; the whole amount is roasted.

hi,
how sprouted green gram can be roasted.
plz rply
Hi Chandrika,
Put the sprouted green gram in a pan. Do not add oil or ghee. Place the pan on a low flame and with a ladle lightly toss the grains until they appear to become dry and crisp. Thiat is when you know that the green gram has been roasted.
