Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Roast the ragi flour

  • Take a non-stick pan and dry roast the ragi flour on a low flame until it starts to smell fragrant.

  • This step is key to getting rid of the raw flavour and boosting its nuttiness.

  • Once it's done, set it aside to cool.

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Melt the jaggery

  • In a small saucepan, slowly melt the jaggery with 2 tablespoons of water over low heat until it turns into a smooth syrup. 

  • Once it’s ready, set it aside to cool a bit.

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Mix and combine

  • Grab a large mixing bowl and combine roasted ragi flour, melted jaggery, ghee, nuts, and desiccated coconut.

  • Give it a good mix until everything comes together into a soft dough. 

  • If needed, add a splash of milk or water to get the right consistency.

Description - Step 4

Step 4: Shape the bites

  • Take small amounts of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls or shape them into squares. 

  • Arrange them evenly on a greased baking tray or one lined with parchment paper.

Description - Step 5

Step 5: Bake to perfection

  • First, get your oven warmed up to 170°C (340°F). 

  • Then, pop those bites in for about 15 minutes, or until they feel a bit firm and have a nice, light golden colour.

Description - Step 6

Step 6: Cool, store & serve

  • Allow the bites to cool completely before you serve or store them.

  • Store in an airtight jar for up to 10 days or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
