Ragi Malt(Sweet) Recipe | Dates Ragi Malt | Sweet Ragi Porridge Recipe | Ragi Malt With Dates & Nuts

Today's recipe is a healthy and equally delicious sweet porridge prepared using Ragi flour, Palm Jaggery, Dates & Nuts. I cook Ragi/Finger Millet once or twice in a week and mostly a savory dish like Ragi Adai or Ragi Idli for dinner or breakfast. Rarely make Ragi Puttu for kids and this time instead of Puttu I made Sweet Porridge/Ragi Malt. Instead of plain version with milk and sugar I made it extra healthy using dates puree and Palm Jaggery. Palm Jaggery and dates are natural sweetener and the porridge turned out super delicious and also the color of the porridge was so dark like chocolate malt. My kids loved it a lot.
Ragi/Finger Millet porridge are super healthy and delicious recipes for growing kids, so try to include at least once in a week in their diet. If you don't have dates in hand you can skip dates and make it as a plain ragi malt. Here I used store bought Organic Ragi Flour and Organic Palm Jaggery, for vegan option use Coconut milk or Almond milk. I have tried with coconut milk too. Theres not much difference in the taste of ragi malt using dairy milk and coconut milk. Cardamom powder enhances the taste and flavor but it is optional.

Komaj - Persian Date Bread Filled With Turmeric & Cumin(Eggless Recipe)

After two months break, am participating in this month's We Knead to Bake, a bread baking event by Aparna. For this month, Aparna chosen Komaj/ Persian Date Bread with Turmeric and Cumin seeds. This is again a new bread to me and tried and tasted it for the for the first time. This is an Interesting, soft and delicious buns with a unique combo of cumin seeds, turmeric and dates. In Iran they cut the komaj into heart shaped buns but you can use either square or round cutters also, here i used round cutter. We just loved this savory and sweet combo. My neighbors too liked the buns which i shared with them.
I also filled few with chocolate chips and nuts for my kids since they do not like dates. Chocolate chip paired well with the cumin and turmeric buns. Komaj tasted yummy when dipped in warm coffee, i liked it that way. Try this unique combo bread and am sure you will love it. Now off to the recipe...
