   TO MAKE RAGI MALT :

1. Boil milk till foams up and reduce the flame to low.
2. Take 2 tsp of milk in a glass and add 1 tsp ragi cocoa powder and mix well.This is done to prevent lumps.
3. Now add the above mixture to boiling milk and boil for 2 mins till the milk turns to light brown colour.
   

   
4. Remove from flame , strain the milk , add sugar ,mix and serve.

NOTES :

1. Do not roast nuts for long time , too much of roasting makes nuts to leave oil and will become sticky while grinding.
2. Also grinding the nuts too much will make the nuts to leave oil and will not give fine powder so always grind in pulse mode for 30 seconds with regular intervals.
3. While making ragi malt , never add the powder directly to boiling milk.This will result in lumps and ragi will not boil properly so always mix the powder well in little milk and then add to boiling milk.
4. Instead of organic cane sugar ,you can use white sugar too.
5. Instead of sprouts ragi powder , you can use normal ragi powder too.But my personal suggestion don't use store brought powder try to make it in home .It is so easy to make ragi powder in home,you can make them in no time.so try in home.
6. Use good quality cocoa powder , I used Hershey.
