To day actually , one of my friend posted ready made ragi shavige ( vermicelli) recipe , i was temted by seeing that,& felt to prepare,i din't know that we get readymade ragi vermicelli like rice vermicelli in store,& i like all dishes prepared by using ragi,& it is very very healthy also.so i did not have ready made vermicelli,so i was very much sad thinking 'chey' suddenly FLASHED in my mind that why not i can try with ragi flour itself,so then i started ,here is the recipe...

Ingredients

Ragi flour 1 cup

Water 1&3/4 cup

Salt  little

Oil 1 tbsp

For tempering

Oil 1 tsp

Mustered seeds 1 tsp

Channa dal 1/2 tsp

Urad dal 1/2 tsp

Peanuts 1 tbsp

Curry leaves a string

Green chilli 3-4 ( as per spicy)

Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp

Lemon juice 2 tbsp

Salt ( remember that you have added salt to dough also)

For garnishing

Grated coconut 1/4 cup

Coriander leaves

Method

Keep water for boiling & add salt & oil ( this method is like how you prepare ragi mudde) 

when it starts boiling add ragi flour in centre & close a lid & cook for 3-5 minutes,then take

a wooden spatula or stick & mix vigoursely until it starts to form a dough,then remove from fire & mix quickly that there should be no lumps at all.

Now take the dough on a plate & knead it until smooth  & stiff dough,

Then take shavige maker or chakli maker ( here i used chakli maker)with small holes & fill with dough & press on greased idli moulds or plate & steam cook for 15 minutes or until done.

Then remove the plates & keep for cooling,( without cooling when you mix it breaks)

mean while prepare tempering & take in a bowl & start mixing slowly & softly,( usually my 

mom prepares like that , she says if u mix slowly the thread consistency will not break)

Lastly,garnish with coconut ( fresh) & coriander leaves.

Enjoy this healthy ragi flour ottu shavige.
