Raagi Sweet Balls

"This is a recipe my mother used to make when we came home hungry from school and if we wanted to snack on something before dinner. Since all of us in the family have a sweet tooth, this is a good variation of the more popular 'Raagi Muddhe'. Not only this recipe is very simple to make but also raagi is high in protein and iron and keeps you full for a while."

  1. I am keen to try this recipe and will rate it later. I always believed that raagi needs to cook for quite a while, so I am puzzled by the step that says :turn off heat and stir in the raagi. Also when I make raagi porridge for the family, the raagi doesn't mix easily in to the water. I always have to first mix it with a blender using a bit of cold water and then add to the boiling water to form a smooth mixture.
