Ragi mudde is a famous main dish of Karnataka cuisine. Rich
nutritious food which need only water, wheat rava or soji and ragi flour, its
good for diabetes. In this modern era most of us use to forget these type of
foods. For babies we use to feed Ragi Koozh, for this, first mix ragi flour
with water and make a lump free batter and add to boiling milk or water and
cook.
Ragi Mudde is mainly cooked in earthern pots, after adding
flour we use to remove from fire, a Y shaped stick is used to hold the pot, and using a long flat
wooden stick the flour will be mixed to remove the lumps the flour will be cooked in couple minutes. Even now my mom use this way to prepare this mudde, since we can’t
find those traditional cookware here, I use kadai and wooden spatula.
Those who don’t know much about this recipe might have a question
“when to add salt”? I asked this to my
mom when she was teaching this. You will get enough salt from side dish or
gravy which should be bit watery. Today I made yogurt based ragi Kzooh and tomorrow
will be posting the gravy.
Actually I planned to post this a month back, since
srivalli informed about BM # 27, I was waiting to post under traditional theme.
Ingredients:
Ragi flour
|
1 ¼ cup
|
Wheat rava or Soji
|
¼ cup
|
Water
|
4 cups

Direction:
Heat water in a kadai, when water boiling, add wheat rava/
soji cook for 3-4 minutes until the rava is cooked.
In this stage add ragi flour by stirring continuously using a
wooden spatula (backside). After adding the flour reduces the heat to medium.
Keep on stirring for another 3-4 minutes, if any lumps try
to break during this time.
Now close the lid and leave it in simmer for another 2-3
minutes.
Turn off the stove and let it cool for 5 minutes. Divide the
mixture into three equal portions; take one portion and place on a plate, using
wet hands make them to round balls.
After it comes to room temperature, add water until it
immerse and store in refrigerator, when you need take a one potion with some
water add 2 Tbsp yogurt and salt mix well without any lumps.
Serve it with shallots and green chili.
Note:
- Before adding rava and flour the make sure water is boiling or else ragi flour will not cook .
- Using of rava helps to reduce the lumps and gives a good taste.
- You can store in refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Adding yogurt and water is your choice might increase and decrease; I like to add more yogurts but my husband like fewer yogurts and more water.
