When spending hot summers in rural karnataka, our grandmother used to make “raagi – neru” (raagi water) consisting of grinding roasted raagi with coconut and jaggery. supposedly a very ‘cooling’ drink. On my last visit to Kumta, I found it is even served in some of the local restaurants!

In marathi it is called “nanchana” and I have seen recipes for laddoos too.

My favorite is the Raagi Bhakri I have linked to above, and here:

Very easy to make! and VERY FILLING!
see the link for some nutritional info at the end. :-)

It is a common staple of the poor and hardy!

I get the feeling it’s used in Kerala too…but I’m not entirely familiar with it.
