Today, we present a simple recipe for Ragi Halwa, a dish that is not only tasty but also packed with health benefits.
**Ingredients Needed for Ragi Halwa**
Gather these easy-to-find ingredients to prepare this scrumptious halwa:
Ragi flour: 1 cup
Chopped jaggery: 3/4 cup
Desi ghee: 1/2 cup
Milk or water: 2 cups
Cardamom powder: 1/2 teaspoon
Chopped nuts: 2 tablespoons (cashews, almonds, pistachios)
**Simple Steps to Prepare Ragi Halwa**
Begin by mixing the milk (or water) with jaggery in a pot and heating it on low. Once the jaggery has dissolved completely, remove from heat, strain the mixture, and set aside.
In a pan, heat a bit of ghee and lightly roast the chopped nuts until they turn golden, then transfer them to a bowl.
Next, add the remaining ghee to the same pan and incorporate the ragi flour. Roast it on low heat, stirring continuously for about 5 to 7 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when a delightful nutty aroma fills the air.
Gradually pour the jaggery-infused milk into the roasted flour while stirring constantly with a ladle to prevent lumps from forming.
Cook the halwa until it thickens and begins to release ghee from the edges of the pan. Finally, stir in the cardamom powder and the roasted nuts, mixing thoroughly. Your warm and nutritious Ragi Halwa is now ready to be enjoyed.
