Ingredients

2 ragi flour
1.5 cups water
½ cup makhana roasted
½ apple
3-4 dates pitted
6-7 almonds soaked
1 tablespoon flaxseeds
¼ teaspoon cardamom powder

Instructions

Add two tablespoons of ragi flour to ½ cup of water. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil on medium-high heat.
Then slowly add the ragi mixture (slurry) to the boiling water.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously, preferably using a whisk, until the mixture thickens. Turn off the stove, remove the pan from the heat, and let it cool completely.
In a high-speed blender, Vitamix Blender, add cooked ragi mixture, roasted makhanas, diced apple, dates, soaked almonds, chia seeds, cardamom powder, and almond milk.
Blend for a few seconds until its smooth and creamy. If you prefer your smoothies to be a bit thinner, try adding extra almond milk.
Pour into a glass, top it with chopped nuts and roasted makhanas. Serve immediately!
