One more recipe that I have learnt from my MIL. Every summer, every day, after every meal we drink this cool refreshing drink with little buttermilk at my in laws’ house. This drink is good for digestion, keeps you cool in summer and, last but not the least, very tasty. Plus raagi has lots of nutritional values. This is also good for kids. This can make good snack for kids, if you make it a little thick. It also has sweet version called “nachani satva”, which is a good meal for toddlers who just started eating food.
My mother used to make it with garlic. But I learnt it from my MIL who makes it without garlic, but both versions tastes equally good. You can make it according to your choice. You can serve this as a refreshing drink.
Ingredients (for 3-4 glasses)
Raagi flour (नाचणीचं पीठ) 2 tbsp
Water 2-3 cups
Salt to taste
Pinch of asafoetida
Cumin seeds 1 tsp
Recipe
1. Pour water in a saucepan and bring it to boil. Add salt, asafoetida and cumin seeds in that water. (Add 1-2 cloves of crushed garlic if you like)
2. Meanwhile, take raagi flour in a separate bowl and add a little water. Make smooth, lump free paste.
3. When water starts to bubble, add this paste into the saucepan and mix it very well with continuous stirring.
4. Once it starts to thicken up, switch off the flame. If it's too thick then add little more water and let it cook for another minute or so. Let it cool before serving. Or you can refrigerate before serving.
You can have it as it is, but it tastes good with little sour buttermilk. Enjoy your cool refreshing drink.
