Move over Panna cotta! Long live Ragi Manni!

🤩🤩🤩

For all those curious, it is a delicious pudding made from Ragi, coconut milk and jaggery. Mostly popular in coastal Karnataka.

Long tedious process of preparation! Especially if you want to get it perfect! 😅

But good time pass in lockdown! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Soak Ragi for 5 hours, grind, put into muslin cloth and extract the milk. Extract coconut milk. Add jaggery powder. Put these three on low flame and keep stirring. It will turn thick and pastey in an hour. Take off stove, pour into dish greased with ghee. Sprinkle cardamom powder

Once it cools down, put into the fridge. Turn it onto a banana leaf and serve. The trick is to have patience to get that smooth texture while cooking. And keep stirring so it doesn't form lumps. Read a book with the other hand. 😅

Ragi Manni rocks! 🤩❤️

You can adjust the jaggery powder to suit the sweetness you like.

I like it less sweet.

I love traditional recipes that take long to prepare!

Longer , the better! 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

Talking of traditional recipes that take good long time to prepare...my all time favourite is the iconic #Dibbarotte 😍

I've been at it since this old thread! 🙆🏻‍♂️
