Nachani Satv is a delicious and healthy Goan sweet that is relished as pudding.
In case you are wondering Nachani is finger millet, ragi.
Ragi is rich in calcium and fibre, helps battle anaemia, strengthens the bone, helps lactation. This makes it an ideal food for babies and postpartum diet. Try this Kachya Dinka Chi Pud too its healthy and great for any person.
Include ragi in your diet for it is a great way to get calcium and iron for postoperative recovery. In case of women going through menopause and after their hysterectomy ragi is highly recommended. Ragi and Aliv are great healers.
Here is how ragi looks like

Any celebration in Goa, traditional food is served I mean alsande cho tonak, chana cho raas, sasav or udmethi, Karam, xauti and biya bhaji the sweet maybe either mangane, caramel pudding , Serra dura and of course “Nachni-che-satv”.
Over a period, I have come to like this delicious pudding Nachni-che-satv a lot it is tasty and very filling. One helping of this pudding at around 11 am and I did not want to eat lunch.
I knew of only ragi muddi that Amma made it is now that I know of so many different foods that nachani can be used in like biscuits, cakes. These days every day I am consuming ragi malt or Tizaan/teezan, which is nothing but strained ragi, cooked in water then you add milk, add sweeteners of your choice. Strangely, I am enjoying ragi malt with jaggery.
Traditionally, you soak ragi in water overnight. Grinding was done on the grinding stone and strained through the “banshire”, a fine cloth that is used to drain rice once it is cooked.
I use the flour yes the ragi flour. Yes, the store brought atta.
If you want it as a Vegan recipe then do not grease the tray with ghee use oil or a non-stick baking sheet.
