Ingredients

2

1 cup Ragi flour

three quarters cup Jaggery, grated

4 tbsp Ghee

3 cups Milk

12 pieces Cashew nuts

quarter teaspoon Cardamom powder

Saffron strands as per taste

Water as per needed

Tips

Ensure the ragi flour is roasted well to avoid a raw taste.

Adjust sweetness according to preference by varying the amount of jaggery.

Use full-fat milk for a creamier texture.

Directions

Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a pan. Add ragi flour and roast on low heat until fragrant and slightly golden brown. Set aside.

In another pan, heat jaggery with a little water until it dissolves completely. Strain to remove impurities if any.

Add roasted ragi flour to the jaggery syrup along with milk. Stir continuously to avoid lumps. Cook on medium heat until the mixture thickens.

In a small pan, heat remaining ghee. Fry cashew nuts until golden brown. Add cardamom powder and saffron strands to the halwa. Mix well.

Garnish with fried cashews and a few saffron strands. Serve warm or chilled.

Serving Size: 1 serving is approximately 150g

Notes

Ragi is rich in calcium and iron, making it beneficial for bone health and anemia.

However, individuals with gluten sensitivity should avoid it.
