Ragi Halwa

Todays my recipe for blogging marathon is Ragi Halwa. I started using Ragi in my food almost 15 years back. I use this millet in many way like ragi jawa with butter milk is must in summer. That gives a good energy and keep your body cool and I add 1 tab sp of ragi flour in may every day chapathi dough.Because this finger millet is rich in fiber, calcium and protein so here is the recipe..

INGREDIENTS:--
Ragi flour  --- 1 cup
Wheat flour  --- 1/4 cup
Sugar  --- 1/2 cup or according to your taste
Milk ---- 1 cup
water 1& 1/2 cup
