Sweet Ragi Puttu

Last Modified: April 22, 2015

We love millet here. All kinds. Foxtail, finger, pearl and what not? While Mr.P doesnt like ragi roti much, he likes eating crunchy crispy ragi dosa. So i make it quite frequently. As you all know,i m always on the lookout for easy breakfast options. I also try to include millet in my morning breakfast menu. While we are not champions of breakfast here, we do enjoy a hearty and scrumptious breakfast once in a while. This sweet ragi puttu can be called that- hearty, scrumptious and healthy. And it can be made in a jiffy. Believe me. It is zero oil. And even though i ve used clarified butter for my version, you can skip it and make it zero oil or zero ghee. It tastes as much delicious without it too. In case you dont find jaggery where you live, please feel free to substitute with sugar. Kids will love this for breakfast and as an after school snack too.

Ingredients

Ragi flour (finger millet flour) 1.5 c
Water as required
Jaggery ¾ c powdered finally
Freshly grated coconut ½ c
