A nourishing drink made with ragi (finger millet) flour, milk, and jaggery. Rich in calcium, iron, and fibre, this traditional drink helps strengthen bones and improve joint flexibility.
Ragi, also known as finger millet, is one of the most calcium-rich grains available, making it excellent for bone health and the prevention of osteoporosis. It also contains iron and fibre, which support overall wellness, improve digestion, and provide steady energy.
When cooked into a malt, ragi becomes easily digestible and soothing, making it suitable for children, adults, and seniors alike. Adding milk enhances the calcium and protein content, while jaggery provides natural sweetness along with iron and minerals.
This simple, wholesome drink is a natural alternative to packaged supplements and can be consumed as breakfast or an evening snack. For those with lactose intolerance, plant-based milk can be used instead. Regular intake helps maintain bone density, reduce joint stiffness, and support healthy growth in children.
Mix ragi flour with ½ cup water to form a smooth paste.

Heat remaining water in a saucepan, add ragi paste, and stir continuously to avoid lumps.
Cook for 4–5 minutes until it thickens.

Add milk and simmer for another 2–3 minutes.

Stir in jaggery until dissolved. Add cardamom powder if using.
Garnish with nuts and serve warm.

Yes, it’s a safe and nutritious drink for children above 1 year.
Jaggery is healthier and provides extra minerals, but sugar can be used sparingly.
Best consumed fresh, but it can be refrigerated for up to 12 hours and reheated.
