Ingredients for Ragi Mudde
- 1 cup whole ragi flour (preferably from Green Poshan)
- 2 cups water
- A pinch of salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon ghee or oil (optional, for flavor)
Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Ragi Mudde
Step 1: Boil the Water
In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Adding a pinch of salt is optional but recommended for flavor.
Step 2: Add the Ragi Flour
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low-medium and slowly add 1 cup of ragi flour while stirring continuously. This will prevent the flour from forming lumps and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
- Pro Tip: For the best results, use Green Poshan’s whole ragi flour, which is finely ground and perfect for making smooth, soft Ragi Mudde.
Step 3: Stir and Cook the Mixture
Continue stirring the mixture on low heat. The mixture will start to thicken. Keep stirring for 8-10 minutes, allowing the ragi to fully absorb the water and form a thick, dough-like consistency.
Step 4: Shape the Mudde
Once the mixture has thickened, please remove it from the heat. Wet your hands to avoid the dough sticking, and shape the mixture into round balls, roughly the size of a fist. This is the traditional shape for Ragi Mudde.
- Tip: Ensure your hands are slightly damp to achieve smooth, rounded balls without sticking.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve your hot Ragi Mudde with a side of sambar, rasam, or yogurt for a delicious and balanced meal.
For extra flavor, drizzle some ghee over the mudde before serving.
- Pro Tip: For an authentic South Indian experience, pair your Ragi Mudde with spicy sambar or tangy rasam.
