Recipe By Slurrp Editorial

Ragi porridge can be so much more than a typical, sweet breakfast bowl. This savoury version combines creamy finger millet with vegetables, aromatic spices and soft paneer for a substantial adult meal that is comforting and nutritious. The paneer adds protein as well as a satisfying bite, while cumin, ginger and lemon ensure the earthy ragi flavour remains fresh rather than heavy. Serve it warm for an experience you will seek time and again, for a cosy meal.

Directions: High-Protein Ragi Porridge Recipe: Savoury Finger Millet Porridge With Paneer

STEP 1.Prepare your ragi slurry first. Combine the ragi flour with ½ cup water and whisk until completely smooth. Then keep aside.
STEP 2.After that, heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Then tip in the ginger and green chilli, and sauté for about 30 seconds.
STEP 3.Now add your carrot and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Once done, pour in the spinach and stir until it is just wilted.
STEP 4.Then reduce the heat and slowly pour in the ragi slurry while stirring continuously. Add your remaining water and continue stirring to prevent the formation of lumps.
STEP 5.Keep cooking on low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the ragi is fully cooked and the porridge is smooth and glossy.
STEP 6.Time to incorporate your crumbled or cubed paneer and cook for another 2 minutes, until lightly cooked through. Avoid prolonged cooking, as that can make your paneer chewy.
STEP 7.Remove your pan from the heat and let it stand for about a minute. Gradually stir in the whisked buttermilk or thin curd. Do not bring the mixture back to a vigorous boil.
STEP 8.Finally, season with salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and coriander. Adjust the consistency with a little warm water if a thinner consistency is needed. Finish with crushed roasted pumpkin seeds for extra crunch and serve warm.
