Ragi Malt | Ambali

For this week theme on BM I'm presenting "All about Millets". Enjoy the dishes & don't miss the update. Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM# 42.
Ambali
Ragi Malt or Ambali is a nutritious summer drink. It is preferred to have for breakfast, but you can also enjoy it in the summer afternoon's, in place of your tea or coffee. This is a very filling drink & also releases energy slowly in to your body, while keeping you active & keeping the craving under control. 
Ragi Malt is made of a millet called " Ragulu" or "Finger Millet". This millet is rich in fibre, calcium, iron & also known for it's nutritious values. There are various dishes you can make with ragi flour, few are Ragi Idli, Ragi dosa, Ragi malt {Sweet}, Ragi ladoo's, Ragi mudda & many more.

Ingredients 
1Tbs ragi flour 
1Cup water 
1/4Cup yogurt
3/4Cup water {as needed} 
Pinch salt {adjust as needed}
1Tsp lemon juice {optional}
1Tbs finely chopped onions {optional}

Directions
- In a vessel, take ragi flour & mix it with 1Cup water.  Whisk it well & make sure there are no lumps left out. 
- Cook it on low heat for 15mins, while stirring it in between. Once it becomes thick & dark in color as shown below, switch off heat & allow it to cool. Ragi java is ready.
- Mix yogurt, water, salt & lemon juice in a glass. 
- To that add 1/2Cup of ragi java or ragi paste to the yogurt mix & whisk it well. 
- Finally add onions & curry leaves. 
*** Serve it cold.
Note
- Ragi paste should be cooled off completely before adding the yogurt mix. 
- You can remove all the ingredients that are optional from the list for a original ragi malt.
- Always cook on low heat for a perfect ragi malt. 
- I always add less of ragi java or ragi paste to the yogurt mix & that's how I like it. Change it according to your taste.
- You can make ragi java ahead of time & refrigerate it for later use.

  4. In fact, most people do not think much further than the basic kitchen set, table and enough chairs to
    seat the family at dinner, when they are furnishing the kitchen. Put the items
    and food you use the most often in places that are easier to reach.
    The catch was that they had to use live crabs with only 30 minutes of preparation time.

    Off-peak is designed to be used at night (usually from midnight
    to 7am) when there is an excess of energy in the national grid
    system, so it is cheaper than the normal daytime unit rate.

  7. Certain kitchen sets are not decent for food preparation and also keeping foodstuffs.
    You can set your fridge to a particular setting,
    then use the thermometer to check the temperature. Dispense the sliced raclette cheese onto the
    potatoes. This can be hazardous to health especially for cooking
    utensils.

  8. Serve the duck with warmed Chinese pancakes, spring onions and hoisin sauce.
    Inside your colon there is literally waste food that has sometimes been there for years at a time.

    Several sauces such as soy sauce, and wasabi; a spicy paste like substance,
    are commonly served with sushi to enhance the flavor.

    Start the loaf pans in a cold oven, set the oven to 300 degrees and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a skewer
    inserted in the center comes out clean.
