Good food is very often, even most often, simple food. – Anthony Bourdain
Chef Bourdain, hopefully, had this in his life. Ragi mudde is a popular dish in South India, especially in the state of Karnataka. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup ragi flour
- 2 cups water
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
-
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
- Slowly add the ragi flour to the boiling water, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Cook the mixture for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a dough-like consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the dough cool for a few minutes.
- Once the dough is cool enough to handle, shape it into small balls using your hands.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, and carefully add the ragi mudde balls to the pot.
- Cook the mudde for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and no longer doughy in the center.
- Serve the ragi mudde hot with your choice of accompaniments, such as ghee, chutney, or curries.
