4
tbsp
Ragi Flour, Nachni Atta, Finger Millet Flour
(~40 gms)
1/2
Cup
Curd, Yogurt
1/4
Cup
Finely Chopped Onion
(Optional)
1
pinch
Asafoetida, Hing, Inguva
1.75
Cups
Water
1/4
tsp
Salt
Finely Chopped Coriander
(Optional)
Instructions
Making a Paste of the Ragi Flour
Add the ragi flour to a bowl.
Gradually add 1/4 cup water and mix well.
Ensure there are no lumps.
Making the Buttermilk
Beat the curd till smooth.
Add 3/4 cup water and mix well.
Cooking the Ragi Paste
Boil 3/4 cup water with salt and the asafoetida.
Turn the heat to low.
Add the Ragi paste to the simmering water and mix well.
Turn up the heat to medium and let the Ragi paste cook till it is glossy. Mix continuously as otherwise the Ragi paste will stick to the bottom.
When the raw smell of the Ragi flour disappears and the Ragi paste becomes shiny, turn off the heat.
Putting Together the Ragi Ambli
To the cooked Ragi paste, add the chopped onions and buttermilk mix well.
Garnish with chopped coriander.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Onions are optional. I add them because they lend a crunch and onions by themselves are cooling in nature.
You could also add a tempering of cumin seeds, curry leaves and green chillies.
