Ragi Koozh

 Fermented Finger Millet


We were also equally shocked to this name for Ragi Koozh. Wondering what is this? This is a South Indian summer special. This cooling drink is free. We mean diabetic free, gluten free and its health as well. Come let's prepare a fresh batch and gulp it and flaunt our cool selves.

Total Preparation time - 15 - 20 mins - Serves 2

Requirements:

Ragi Flour - 1cup
Water - 2cups
Salt - As per taste
Sambar Onion - 2 (chopped)
Green Chilli - 1 (chopped)
Curry leaves - 1spring
Raw Green Mango - 2 slices (with salt and chilli powder)
Curd/Buttermilk

How to Brew?

  1. Take a pan and pour water into it and salt to it. Let it boil.
  2. While the water is heating slowly add the ragi flour little by little without lumps.
  3. Continuously stir it for about 10 minutes. Bring it down the stove.
  4. Slowly turn the mixture into round shapes like balls and let them soak in water for about 2 - 4 hours.
  5. Pick a bowl, transfer the ragi bowls into the bowl and add curd or buttermilk to it.
  6. Add a pinch of salt and add little water to the curd so the consistency is semi solid.
  7. Now add the chopped onions, chillies and curry leaves and mix it well and carefully.
  8. Serve it immediately along with raw mango pieces.
