Ragi | Finger millet flour, i made puttu with that for this morning breakfast. First i thought, i will click pictures and post today but morning it was hectic i couldn’t click. While i was serving ragi puttu for my hubby, Varsha asked me what is this. I said it is Ragi puttu and explained her the health benefits of ragi flour as a typical mom, and told her to try a spoon of it. I remember my mom making this keepai puttu during our childhood days and we used to look forward for this one. When she had a bite she told it was tasting as chocolate. Even when i first tasted ragi cookies i felt the same too. As a typical teenager and a perfect foodie, Varsha told me why don’t you try Ragi chocolate milkshake with this. Amazed with her idea when i was browsing in google, i saw in Priya have posted this ragi chocolate milkshake | Malt recipe. So i tried today ragi malt with chocolate chips. Let the kids enjoy this healthy and delicious milkshake in this summer.

I made this for my daughter with kanji mavu and used cocoa powder as I had no chocolate chips in stock. My daughter believed it to be chocolate milkshake and has told me to give it daily instead of milk in the evening .. Healthy recipe indeed ..
