Ragi malt is rich, tasty, and healthy milk that is popularly served in many Chennai hotels. malt powder is readily available in stores but homemade podi is super easy to make.

WHAT IS ragi malt

Ragi kanji is a healthy breakfast/evening drink prepared with ragi and mixed nuts. Some people often refer to malt as porridge but the difference between malt and porridge is consistency. Ragi porridge | ragi kanji is usually thicker in consistency.

Can I skip nuts?

There are many versions of healthy drinks with ragi. You can even prepare it without any nuts but to make it kid’s friendly taste and even more healthy, I prefer adding nuts.

BEST INDIAN WINTER DRINK

Ragi is a highly nutritious whole grain. Finger millet is a good addition to the winter diet.

Can I use store-bought ragi flour?

Yes, I have used store-bought ragi flour. Always dry roast in low flame then prepares malt powder. Avoid roasting in high flame.

Nuts for ragi malt powder

I prefer using cashews and almonds. If you are using other nuts, the flavor might vary accordingly

can I skip grinding malt powder with water 

grinding with water is optional, but this ratio helps for lump-free ragi kanji.

Variations for ragi health drink, use

• 3 almonds instead of almond flour
• Jaggery or other sweeteners of your choice
• Adjust milk/ water according to your preferred taste
• Pinch of yellow food color to resemble store-bought health mix malt powder
• Mix malt powder with water well then add to milk else it might turn lumpy
