🌾 Ingredients (for 2 servings / about 6 mini balls)
- Ragi (finger millet) flour – ½ cup (60 g)
- Water – 1 cup (250 ml)
- Salt – ¼ tsp
- Ghee / oil – ½ tsp (optional)
Optional for flavor:
- A pinch of jeera (cumin) or hing (asafoetida)
- 1 tsp grated coconut or chopped coriander for garnish
🍳 Instructions
- Boil Water:
In a small pan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add salt (and cumin/hing if using). - Add Ragi Flour:
Slowly sprinkle the ragi flour into the boiling water while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. - Cook:
Lower the flame, cover, and let it cook for 3–4 minutes until the water is absorbed and the mixture thickens like a dough. - Knead:
Turn off the heat. Wet your hand slightly and knead the dough (using a wooden spoon if too hot) for 1–2 minutes till it becomes smooth and elastic. - Shape:
Make small balls (ping-pong size). You’ll get about 6–8 mini mudde from this quantity. - Serve:
Enjoy warm with:- Plain curd (low-fat) + salt
- Sambar or rasam
- Or drizzle a little ghee + chutney podi for flavor
