Easy Steps
01Cook the ragi paste: In a small bowl, whisk ragi flour with 23 tbsp water to make a smooth slurry. Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a pan, reduce heat, and stream in the slurry while whisking. Cook on low, stirring 45 minutes until thick and glossy. Cool completely.
02Prepare the buttermilk base: In a bowl, whisk buttermilk (or curd + water) until smooth. Stir in salt, grated ginger, green chilies, coriander, and curry leaves (if using).
03Combine: Once the ragi mixture is fully cooled, add it to the buttermilk and whisk until you get a smooth, drinkable consistency. Adjust water to your liking.
04Optional tempering: Heat oil; add mustard and cumin seeds until they splutter. Cool slightly, then pour into the ragi buttermilk. Stir.
05Serve: Enjoy chilled or at room temperature. It’s a great mid-morning or evening refresher.
