Before protein shakes became fashionable, Karnataka households started the day with ragi malt — filling, gentle on the stomach, and rich in calcium. SuVika Harvest Ragi Malt blends sprouted finger millet with jaggery and spices for a drink that needs only hot milk and two minutes of your time.

Ingredients

2 tbsp SuVika Harvest Ragi Malt
1½ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 cup water
1 tsp ghee (optional, for richness)
Pinch of cardamom powder
Chopped almonds or cashews for garnish

Method

1
Whisk SuVika Harvest Ragi Malt into ½ cup cold milk until smooth and lump-free. This prevents clumping when heated.
2
In a saucepan, combine water and remaining milk. Bring to a gentle simmer — do not boil vigorously.
3
Pour in the malt mixture while stirring continuously. Cook on low heat for 4–5 minutes until the drink thickens to a pourable porridge consistency.
4
Stir in ghee and cardamom if using. The malt should coat the back of a spoon lightly.
5
Pour into a mug or glass, garnish with chopped nuts, and serve warm. For a chilled version, cool completely and serve over ice with a drizzle of honey.
