This recipe is my entry to the event "Shhh!!! Cooking Secretly" challenge conducted by Mayuri Patel of Mayuri's Jikoni. The theme for month of April is "Millet Magic".The theme was suggested by our fellow blogger Aruna of Vasusvegkitchen. I have paired with Seema Doraiswamy Sriram of MildlyIndian and the ingredients given by her are jaggery and cardamom. I have suggested her millet flakes and green chillies. She made yummy Methi mattar millet flakes upma with the given ingredients. Do check her blog for more yummy recipes.
I love to try recipes using Ragi / finger millet; high fiber, gluten free and calcium rich millet!
As I have already post idli, dosa, adai and pakoda recipes using ragi; this time I want to try a sweet recipe. This Ragi Kozhukkattai is tasty, steamed evening snack suitable for all ages. It is one of the special Nivedhyam / Prasadham served during Ganesha Chathurthi for Lord Ganesha.
Try it and give your feedback!
