Ragi malt/porridge is a sweet porridge with cashew and coconut , a healthy breakfast drink with goodness of millets and nuts.

This is ragi malt/porridge breakfast can pass the dessrrert test too. Yes, ragi malt, is such a delight to taste in the morning. That too the way i make it, with some cashew nuts, cardamom and coconut it tastes like payasam/kheer for breakfast. 

Both my kids love such sweet delights. As i was clicking this post, my lil one is waiting patiently near me to get his share of ragi malt. Though my elder one is a bit hesitant to porridge like breakfast, i cheat him with some grated chocolate on top and he is one happy kid. Chocolate makes everything good.

if you are looking for some savory porridges you can check my  oats porridge or Poha porridge or leftover millets porridge with varagu/kodo millet and Kambu/pearl millet.

Ragi malt
What is in the porridge?

The porridge is made with ragi flour or finger millet flour. Finger millet is a nutritious millet with natural calcium that helps strengthening bones in growing children. It is one of the best weaning foods in babies.

Cashews and coconut adds a rich taste and texture to the porridge. Sugar to sweeten, which can be replaced with jaggery or sweetener of your choice.

i have used cardamom to flavor the porridge, you can also use cinnamon/cloves/ginger all the warm spices to make it more fragrant.
