Ragi Recipes

You can make ragi porridge and steam it to make ragi appams. Can then cut them into fingers and serve lo

Regular pancakes, replace the flour you use with ragi or you could do a half n half ie half cup ragi and half cup the whole wheat flour. I use banana to sweeten the pancakes instead of jaggery/sugar. I also add a pinch of cinnamon powder to give a flavour.

Someone had posted recipe for Ragi paniyaram/appam. Soak regular idli/dosa ingredients - rice, urad dal, methi seeds along with ragi and grind and ferment as usual. Make appam once fermented.

So what I do for the ragi appam is I cook regular ragi porridge in water into a thick pasty consistency and then steam it in idli steamer. Or use whatever steaming method you use. Steam for about 5 minutes on medium flame and another 5 minutes off the flame but kept covered. It should thicken into an 'appam' which can be cut up but is not too chewy or hard. Might still be gooey which is perfect. My lo has no teeth and it sort of melts in his mouth and hands.
 For the ragi porridge I cook some ground and dehusked ragi in enough water to form a paste
