Did you know? Ragi (finger millet) is one of the most calcium-rich grains — even higher than milk! It also helps manage PCOD, diabetes, and improves digestion.
🧁 Ingredients
(Makes about 12–14 cookies)
- Ragi (finger millet) flour – ¾ cup
- Whole wheat flour – ¼ cup
- Desiccated or fresh grated coconut – ¼ cup
- Jaggery powder – ½ cup
- Baking powder – ½ tsp
- Coconut oil or ghee – ¼ cup
- Milk (as needed) – 2–3 tbsp
- Pinch of salt
- Vanilla or cardamom – ¼ tsp (optional)
🍪 Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ragi flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and grated coconut.
- Add jaggery powder and mix until evenly distributed.
- Pour in coconut oil or ghee and rub with fingers to make a crumbly texture.
- Gradually add milk — just enough to bind it into a soft dough. Don’t over-knead.
- Divide into small balls, flatten lightly, and arrange on the baking tray.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden-brown at the edges.
- Allow to cool on a wire rack; they’ll become crisp as they cool down.
💡 Tips & Variations
- Add chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips for extra crunch.
- Replace milk with almond milk to make it vegan.
- Sprinkle coconut flakes on top before baking for a rustic look.
🕒 Shelf Life
Store the cookies in an airtight jar at room temperature for 10–12 days.
