This is the first time I am participating in a discussion.

I was having problem with lumping of ragi in water but when I followed your instructions it turned out great. I add dilute buttermilk, pinch of salt and a teasoonful of powder I make using different spices. This enhances the nutritional value of Raagi jaava. It helps in weight reduction, adds more minerals and vitamins and antioxidants.

I take equal amount of cumin, fennel (saumf), coriander, ajwan, dill and CHIA seeds (I bought at GNC store)and grind them together and store the finely ground powder in a jar. I add a teaspoon of this mixture to one glass of Ragi Java and drink mid morning.

CHIA seeds have lot of nutritional benefits, most of all it helps in weight reduction the way I understand. When you add chia to your diet it makes you feel full fast and you eat less and lose weight also. Thanks.

then the drink seems more like a tea than a malt. very watery. when i let the ragi cool, again it settles to the bottom.

other times when i tried to make a thicker porridge, i get lumps…

what am i doing wrong?

Ingredients:
Water: 200 ml, Ragi floor: 2 TSF, Jaggery powder: 2 TSF, Grated Coconut: 1/2 TS, Kaju peaces 2 TSF. Cow Ghee 1/4 TS.

Process:
fist mix ragi flour in small amount of water and make it fine with out lumps. Then mix it with remaining water. Add Ghee and Put it on stove on low flame stirring with a spoon. Let it boil and add remaining ingredients and stir well for 2 min. Switch off the stove and allow it to cool for some extent. Drink it when it is little worm.

Note: No need to add separately Milk or Butter milk. If You want you can add little amount of milk as per requirement.

Try it and Enjoy. In Most of the weight reduction processes it is given as break fast.

Just made and enjoyed it … it was awesome. I did not think it would taste this good. Now i will introduce it to my kids too… Thanks for sharing the recipe.
