Ragi Mudde a very helthy meal from KARNATAKA.Normaly I make ragi mudde with Bassaru a another delicious dish from Karnataka, but when i saw this combo of Ragi mudde and Massoppu in LGs Taste of Mysore long back ,I wanted to try this one and now I tried it for my RM Karnataka theem.

Spoon the flour to a edgeless plate. Wet your hands and make a nice ball.Punch a little hole in the center and add a drop of ghee :) and serve hot! It tastes good when it is hot.
