Raagi puttu or finger millet puttu is a healthy dish to prepare for breakfast or dinner. Raagi are rich with fiber and with the steaming process involved in the preparation, this dish is a wonderful dish for weight watcher. This is a regular breakfast dish at my home as it is very easy to prepare and quite a filling meal to go thru the day. There are sweet and savoury version of raagi puttu and today i'm sharing the sweet version.
This sweet version has powdered jaggery added into them. You can use white sugar but i prefer them with jaggery as it gives a wonderful flavour. The sweet aroma of cardamom powder and freshly grated coconut add a beautiful texture to the super nutritious raagi puttu. I love to have my puttu hot mix with sliced ripen banana along side with a piping hot cup of coffee.
Ingredients
3/4 cup raagi flour
1/4 cup freshly grated coconut
1/2 cup jaggery powder
1/4 cup water
1 tsp ghee/clarified butter,melted
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
Methods
Boil the 1/2 cup water and add the salt. Stir well and keep aside
Over a medium-low heat, dry roast the raagi flour for 4-5 minutes
Transfer to a bowl and add cardamom powder.
Gradually, add the boiled salted water and mix well. To get the right consistency, take some of the wet flour and press with your palm. It should be like a ball and when put it back into the bowl, it shall fall loosely.
Heat water in a idli pan or steamer. Grease the idli pan with little oil and spread the wet puttu flour and steam for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the melted ghee grated coconut and jaggery powder while it still hot.
Serve hot or warm.
