Earlier it was said that millets were 'poor man's food'. But now the scenario has changed and people are gradually including millets in their daily cooking due it's health benefits.
Ragi or Finger millet is widely used in the state of Karnataka.
I thought of making healthy muffins using Ragi /finger millets
Ingredients:
One cup of whole wheat flour
Half a cup of Ragi/finger millet flour
One n half tbsp of Cocoa powder
3/4 th cups of Brown sugar/normal white sugar (i use brown sugar)
1 tbsp of coarsely ground walnuts
1/2 tsp of Baking Soda
1 tsp of Baking Powder
1 cup of hot water (not boiling)
1/4th cup of Oil (i always use Olive oil)
1/4 th cup of milk at room temperature
1/2 cup of yoghurt
A pinch of salt
1 tbsp of castor sugar
Method:
Add all the dry ingredients (excepting the castor sugar) in a large bowl and mix well.
In another bowl add the yoghurt, milk, water and sugar and mix till the sugar dissolves.
Now gradually add the above liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well and see that there are no lumps.
Pour the batter into muffin moulds and set the same into a preheated oven at 180 deg C and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven once done and cool the muffins on a rack.
Sprinkle the castor sugar on the muffins and serve with a hot cup of tea/coffee
I love the darkish lavender color of these ragi muffins.
