Hi Hema,
How can I make porridge from the sprouted ragi powder brought from you?
I tried cooking it , but the taste was very different.
Hi Jayasree,
You can cook it well in a medium flame for 10 to 15 minutes. Adding 2 tablespoons of Sprouted Ragi Powder to 2 cups water is the general recommendation. You can add extra mix or water according to your preference dear.
Hi,
I made the sprouted ragi powder at home. After cooking the ragi to thick consistency, after removing it from stove I added BM to it, it became very watery and the ragi powder separated out.
Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.
Hi,
Try adding BM when the porridge is warm.
Hi
Can you please outline the difference between these 2 products available on your website –
1. Sprouted Ragi Powder
2. Instant Sprouted Ragi Powder
What is the main difference in how you prepare these 2 powders?
Thank you and Regards
Hi
Sprouted ragi powder is not an instant mix. Ragi is sprouted, washed and dry roasted. Ragi is the only ingredient in the mix and this has to be consumed only after cooking. Whereas Instant sprouted ragi mix is made with Sprouted Ragi, Roasted Gram, Elaichi and can be consumed just by adding piping hot water, cooking not required.
Hi,
Sprouted ragi is roasted and powdered. For instant ragi are we supposed to roast that powder again?
Hi Shahila, you need not roast the instant ragi powder as it is an instant mix and needs to be mixed with hot water only.
Hi mam,
It means sprouted ragi powder method u mentioned is already instant right ., I am little confused since it’s guided to cook the ragi again in that post . Please confirm.
Hi Rithi,
You are right dear, This is an instant mix, cooking is not necessary. You can make it by just adding piping hot water.

Hi,
I already have home made ragi powder with me which is NOT roasted prior to being powdered. How do I make instant porridge powder out of it?? Or is it better to make fresh powder from scratch? We are planning on traveling with our 8 month old baby next week and hence the question. Please advice.
Hi Dr.Hema,
Thank you for your recipes. We love them.
I’m planning for a travel with my 7 month old. I need to prepare instant Ragi porridge. Have following queries.
1. I will mix the two ingredients (roasted Ragi powder and roasted Bengal gram powder) and store them in air tight container. Is it enough to just add hot water to feed my lil one instantly ?
2. How does a instant Ragi powder differ from normal Ragi powder, considering that normal Ragi powder will be boiled well in water in stove before feeding ?
Please help me with the queries. Thank you ?
