Ragi mudde

Ingredients:
Ragi powder - 1 cup
Salt - 1/2 tsp

Method:
Add one cup of ragi powder to 2 cups of water and mix well without any clumps.
Add 1/2 spoon of salt and keep it in the stove.
Stir continuously. Do not stop (even if you stop for 5seconds, it might form clumps).
Keep stirring until it gets to chappathi dough consistency. (when you touch, it shouldn't stick to your hand)
Gather all of it in the middle of the vessel and close the vessel.
Simmer the stove and let it stand for 10 minutes
Now, take scoops(ice scream scoop) of ragi and keep in a plate.
After 3 minutes, when you can touch it, make each scoop into a nice ball.
That's it...ragi mudde is ready :)

You have to make sambar(lots) for ragi mudde. To serve, keep ragi mudde on the plate and pour lot of sambar on top of it. If you make small balls of mudde, you can eat one mudde at a time.

Note: Use wooden ladle for stirring. You can even use the back portion of the wooden ladle.
