Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, take ragi flour.
- Then add 2 cups of water into the ragi flour.

- Turn off the flame.

- Transfer it to a serving bowl.
- Garnish it with chopped cashews.

Notes
- Replace water with milk for a more healthy option or you can add half-half of water or milk or only milk in the malt.
- I suggest, it is better to make the porridge without milk. The reason being, adding milk reduces the iron content of ragi.
- According to your requirement, you can adjust its thickness by adding or reducing the amount of water.
- Both ragi flour and sprouted ragi flour can be used to prepare this dish.
- Additionally, you can add various nuts, dry fruits and flavorings of your choice like dates, raisins for garnishing; these not only sweeten the porridge but also adds nutrients value.
