Nutty Ragi Oatmeal Delight

1In a bowl, soak the oats (1 cup) in milk (2 cups) for at least 30 minutes to soften them.

2In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the ragi flour (½ cup) and a pinch of salt (¼ teaspoon), stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens and is fully cooked.

3Once the ragi is cooked, add the grated jaggery (¼ cup) to the ragi mixture and stir until it melts completely. Remove from heat and set aside.

4In a separate pan, add the soaked oats (1 cup) along with the milk (2 cups) and the cinnamon stick (1). Cook on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats (1 cup) are creamy and cooked through.

5Remove the cinnamon stick (1) from the oats (1 cup) and mix in the diced apple (1) and sliced banana (1).

6Serve the creamy oats (1 cup) topped with the sweet ragi-jaggery (¼ cup) mixture. Enjoy warm.
