Ragi or Finger Millet Malt

Serves : one mug

Time taken : 15minutes

 

Recently we had to fast for Guruvayur Ekadashi, absolutely no rice and hence I made this for my breakfast. Ragi malt was my favorite during childhood days. I used to love to have this in the morning before going to school. So healthy and a very filling  drink, my mom  used to add some coconut, sugar and milk and enoy this. 

 

 

To tell you all frankly there is no measurements for the ingredients to make this, you can add more or less ragi powder or even make with full milk without adding any water or even for that matter your can add some powdered nuts into it. Just one note if you are giving kids, make it  little watery and let the malt be without any granuals as they can gulp it. However just to get you all a hold of this recipe how I made  is given below.

Oats & Mango Smoothie

Personally  I am not a big fan of Oats, somehow  just don’t like to have it in any form either me or none from my family. Looking at the health benefits of having Oats,  I thought having oats in this form. Truly you will never know there is oats in this  at all. I need not say more on the red finger millet as to how good its for our good health.

You may add up different fruits of your choice and enjoy this drink. You can even keep it watery  so that the kids can just gulp it in the morning before they leave to school. Please ensure to keep the drink smooth if they plan to gulp it straithgt. Alternatively you can  keep it thick so that they can scoop and enjoy this then may be you should garnish with nuts or dates syrup or chocolate flavour or saffron, keep changing the flavours the kids will love it.  Its really a filling drink. These days this is my new breakfast J
