Equipment

  • 1 Container tall
  • 1 Kadhai/wok
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Plates
  • 1 Knife

Ingredients

  • 1 cup finger millet flour also called Nachni flour
  • 200 ml Coconut milk 1 tetra pack
  • 2 litre Water
  • 1 cup Jaggery adjust as per taste
  • pinch Salt Optional but recommended
  • 10 Cashew Nuts
  • 1 teaspoon Ghee

Instructions

  • So add the ragi flour to a tall container. Add 2 cups of water so that the water level is about an inch above the flour. Stir and set aside. (1 cup finger millet flour +2 litre Water)
  • Stand the container untouched for say 60 minutes. The flour settles, and the husk is floating on top. Decant the water.
    Repeat this another 2 times. You will find that the flour is clearer. 
  • Grease a 6-inch tray with ghee and set aside. (1 teaspoon Ghee)
  • In a thick-bottomed wok, cook the ragi flour, coconut milk, jaggery, salt, and cashew nuts on low flame. (200 ml Coconut milk+1 cup Jaggery+pinch Salt+10 Cashew Nuts)
  • Keep stirring the wok continuously so the mixture does not become lumpy or stick to the bottom until it thickens.
  • Transfer to the greased tray, level the top of the pudding. Cool. 
  • Cut into slices and serve.

Notes

  • Please feel free to increase/reduce the amount of coconut milk used; you will get a thinner/thicker milk, and the contents will be less/richer.
  • You can also make the satv by soaking and grinding the nachni.
