Ragi is finger millet,
Eleusine coracana is an annual plant grown for its edible seeds (the grains). Originally native to the Ethiopian highlands it is grown throughout Africa and South Asia.
Ingredients:
75g ragi
50g fresh coconut, chopped into pieces
175g grated jaggery (palm sugar)
1 tbsp eleachi (ground green cardamon)
1 tsp butter
Method:
Ravi grains are very hard. It is best to toast then lightly in a dry non-stick frying pan so that they soften (you only need to toast for a few seconds) then turn into a coffee grinder and render to a coarse powder (think semolina).
Grind the coconut in a food processor and set aside.
Melt the butter in a pan, add the coarse-ground ragi and fry for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Turn the ragi mixture into a bowl and mix in the coconut. jaggery and ground cardamom. The liquid from the coconut will be enough to hold everything together.
Shape into balls (about pingpong size), arrange in a serving dish, garnish with a few chopped pieces of coconut and serve.
As variants you can add chopped raisins and hopped almonds or chopped pistachios to the mix.
