Ingredients

  • Bajra flour – ½ cup
  • Jaggery – ¾  cup
  • Water - 1 ¼  cups
  • Milk – ½ cup
  • Cardamon powder – 1/8 cup

 

Method

1. To begin making Ragi Porridge/Kanji, make sure to stock up on Ragi powder. Ragi powder is best made at home as it will not contain any preservatives or added sugar as in cases on store bought powders. 

2. Heat a pan, add the bajra flour and roast until crisp. Takes 3 – 4 minutes. Once it starts spluttering, remove pan and add the roasted flour to plate.

3. In a small pan, add 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons of ragi powder. Stir well to combine before placing it on heat. To a vessel add water and wait it boils well.

4. Once combined, place it on heat along with water and keep stirring bajra porridge continuously until it thickens. Now add the jaggery slowly and wait till dissolves.

5. Add in milk, cardamom powder and stir until all combines well. 

6. Let the porridge be cooled to room temperature or warm.

Serving suggestions

Serve bajra sweet Porridge to your babies who are over 6 months of age. 

Notes

Add small batches into a blender and pulse 4 – 5 times until fine and pack it in an air-tight container. You can use this up to 2 months.
