🥣 Instructions

1. Boil water

• In a heavy-bottomed pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
• Add salt and ½ tsp ghee.

2. Mix ragi slurry (important for lump-free mudde)

• In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp ragi flour with ¼ cup water to make a smooth paste.
• Add this paste to the boiling water while stirring — this prevents lumps.

3. Add remaining ragi flour

• Reduce heat to low.
• Add the rest of the ragi flour in one go.
• Do NOT stir immediately; let it steam for 1 minute.

4. Stir and cook

• With a sturdy spoon (or mudde katti), mix vigorously until it forms a smooth dough-like ball.
• Cook covered for 3–4 minutes on low heat.

5. Shape the mudde

• Wet your palms with cold water or apply a drop of ghee.
• Roll the hot ragi mixture into smooth balls.
