Mix the Ragi Malt Powder in water thoroughly to avoid any lumps forming.
If Ragi Malt powder is not available, you can use store-bought sprouted ragi powder. However the consistency and the taste would not be as good as making it with malt powder. Place it on the stove on a low flame and slowly bring to boil while continuously stirring. You'll notice a change in colour and texture. If required add some water little by little if you feel it's getting very thick very fast.
When done, you'll notice a shine in the colour and a thick texture with a nice aroma. Once it gets to the consistency you like, add few drops of ghee to it and switch off the flame.
Serve once cool.
If following traditional weaning, or if bottle fed, you can mix this with breastmilk/ formula once it's cooled down.
