To celebrate the auspicious festival of Ganesha Chaturthi, here I am sharing the recipe of a super nutritious and delicious Finger Millets And Jaggery Modak or Ragi Laddu.
In comparison to any other grain, finger millets are the best non-dairy source of calcium. It is also a rich source of natural iron. Hence, these Ragi Modak makes a perfect snack for the kids, especially during the festive season.
Happy Ganesha Chaturthi 🎈🎂🎁🥳🎉

- 1 cup Jaggery (grated)
- 1/4 cup Water
- 4 to 5 Cardamoms
- 1/4 to 1/2 Nutmeg
- 1 cup Coconut 🥥
- 1 tbsp. Raisins
- 1 tbsp. Almonds
- 1 tbsp. Walnuts
- 1 tbsp. Cashews
Fresh or Dried Coconut 🌴 🥥
Freshly Grated Nutmeg
Place the cardamom, nutmeg, and coconut in a blender jar. Grind the mixture into a coarse powder.
Keep the coarsely ground coconut mixture aside for later use.
In a heavy bottom pan, on a low-medium heat, add ghee and the finger millet flour…
Keep roasting it with a constant stirring, until fragrant (10 to 15 mins)…
Add the coconut mixture and stir roast for another 2 to 3 minutes…
Combine well..
Grind the toasted nuts (except raisins)…
Add the nut powder and raisins to the flour mixture..
To make a one string jaggery syrup, take 2/4 cup of water..
Add the jaggery to the warm water on a low heat..,
Let it cook for a couple of minutes..
Turn of the heat as soon as the syrup reaches into one-string consistency…
Add the jaggery syrup to the finger millets mixture and combine well with the help of a spatula…
Once the mixture gets little cooler, start binding the dough into small Laddu or Modak. Our Finger Millets Laddu are ready for celebration!
Note: These Finger Millets Laddu turned out very delicious. Binding part is a bit challenging, as the laddu mixture has to be warm enough. An extra ghee, jaggery, or milk helps creating the Laddu much faster. Teams up great with a cup of milk.
