Sweet Ragi Balls - Iron rich recipe

Whenever my mom sees Ragi related stuff in the supermarket, she always gets nostalgic and starts telling about how she used to give me only ragi and not any readymade baby foods to me when I was an infant :) This time she got a pack of "Ragi Huri Hittu" (Raosted Ragi powder) when she had been to Bangalore. So this iron rich recipe is my mom's childhood favorite and is a very healthy evening snack for kids!

INGREDIENTS:

• Roasted Ragi Flour - 1/2 cup (If you don't get the roasted flour, you could use regular ragi flour and dry roast it)
• Jaggery - 1/2 cup
• Ghee - 2 Tsp
• Grated coconut - 3 Tbsp
• Milk - few Tsp as required

METHOD:

1. Mix together all the ingredients very well. You could even beat it in a mixer for a few seconds
2. The consistancy of the mixture should be such that it can be easily made into small laddus/balls
3. If it is too dry, then add a few spoons of milk
4. Divide them into equal portions and roll them into small balls
5. This is the best way to make kids eat the iron rich ragi :) This is not only for kids, even adults can have it but the amount of jaggery and ghee can be reduced and the reduction in ghee can be replaced with more milk
