This is called as Kali or Pori Maavu in Tamil. This title I have used is a Kannada word.
Ingredients.
Method.
Take a thick bottomed Vessel. Put the powdered jaggery and Milk. When it starts boiling add the Ghee and add the Ragi Powder gradually. Stir well. When the whole thing is mixed well add Honey and the Elachi powder and stir a bit and switch off the stove. This can be eaten as a snack.
This is very good for health.
The Ragi powder can be made into a 'Muddhe' and eaten with any side dish. (instead of cooked rice Ragi Muddhe can be eaten at meal time) Just boil a cup of water and add the ragi powder and make it into a 'muddhe' or 'Kali' consistency. (The consistency is what you see in the picture.)
Ragi powder can be bought directly from shop. Ragi can be made into a powder at home. Soak Ragi for a day. allow it to sprout.(even if it does not sprout it is alright) then drain water and Roast it in a 'kadai' without oil. Powder this in Mixer and use it for the Huri Hittu.
My mother used to make a powder out of Ragi for small babies.
She used to sprout the Ragi and then grind it nicely and take the milk out of it ( just like taking coconut milk out of coconut) and then used to sun dry this thick ragi milk. This will form soft blocks and powder it and keep it in a tight container.
Make Kanji or porridge out of this powder and mix it with milk add little sugar and give it to the babies. Small quantity of Ragi powder is used when the baby is 4 months old and slowly the quantity increased as the baby grows. This can be given to babies for more than one feed. This is very good for the growing children.
To Make Kanji Mix one table spoon of powder with half a cup of water and boil the mixture while stirring. This is Kanji. More quantity can be made in the morning and kept aside and used at other times of the day.
