I am a big fan of traditional recipes, which are typically simple, healthy, and to the point. Moreover, these traditional recipes were aimed at getting the best of the basic available ingredients during those times. One such traditional recipes are porridge recipes. It is basically a semi-solid food prepared by boiling the grains in water or milk. The most common porridge especially in Western countries is oatmeal and served for morning breakfast. Similarly, other ingredients like rice or ragi millet are used to prepare the individual porridge. While the rice porridge is easy to make, ragi malt porridge or popularly known as ragi java is slightly complicated. This post should simplify it and can be made without any hassle.

Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variants to the ragi malt java recipe. Firstly, for the best results, you may need to dry roast the flour before it is used in this malt porridge. I have not roasted it as it is store-bought roasted and hence it becomes an optional step. Secondly, I have used yogurt or curd as an additional ingredient with the ragi flour. Yogurt helps to get the proper consistency, but you may also add milk or even coconut milk. Coconut milk can be a great vegan alternative. Lastly, if you wish to have a sweet taste in your porridge, you may use jaggery instead of sugar. Avoid using white sugar as it defies the whole healthy aspects of this porridge.
