Greetings, friends, food-lovers, and community.
In India, the summer heat can be exhausting and tiring. I was looking for some good ingredients to prepare meals that cool down our bodies and help maintain our strength. One of the most commonly used ingredients in hot weather in India is ragi, or finger millet. It is known for its cooling properties and is a great source of calcium, iron, protein, and it boosts immunity. Most of the time, I make pudding, porridge, roti, and pancakes. This time, however, I tried something new that I had never made or eaten before. It turned out to be a healthy, delicious, and filling breakfast. Ragi helped us cope with the intense heat during our stay over the past few weeks.
Ingredients:

1 cup finger millet milk
1 cup coconut milk
3/4 cup coconut Jaggery
1/2 cup almond powder
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp raisins
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 pinches of salt

Making finger millet milk

Wash and soak finger millet for at least 5 hours or overnight.

Using a mixer, grind it into a fine paste.

Using afine strainer strain it.

After straining the milk, discard the skin of the finger millet. Store the milk in the refrigerator. You can drink it just like it, or add any sweeteners, or coconut milk to get a delicious taste. This calcium-rich milk is a good source of iron and protein, beneficial for children's immunity as well as adults'.
**Making coconut milk **

you can see how to extract milk from a coconut on this link.

First, grind the coconut pieces coarsely in a strong mixer jar.

Make a fine paste in a mixer and strain it using a cheese cloth.
(This time, I made coconut milk by grinding coconut into a fine paste and used it without straining, keeping some fibers in the recipe.)

Making almond flour

Chop the coconut, Jogarry, and measure 3/4 cup from it.
**The procedure **
20250322_082125.jpg
Mix the coconut milk and the ragi milk (finger millet milk)

20250322_082140.jpg
Then coconut jaggery

Add coconut oil.

20250322_082155.jpg
Almond flour/powder.

20250322_082310.jpg
Mix it well until all ingredients are incorporated, and the jaggery has dissolved

20250322_082417.jpg
Add a pinch of salt

20250322_082440.jpg
Saved baking soda and baking powder for later.

20250322_082548.jpg
Add vinegar.
(I was thinking about raisins, but on the spot I changed my mind If you want, you can add them atthe last).

20250322_082822.jpg
Add baking powder and baking soda.
Stir it very constantly to form bubbles in a batter.

20250322_082844.jpg
The mixture looks like this: it has a thicker coating on the spoon, but is slightly thinner than normal muffin batter.

Fill the cups/molds

Steaming
20250405_111245.jpg
Steam them for 20 minutes.

20250406_133351.jpg
Done. Keep aside to cool down.
