Nutty Ragi Oatmeal Delight

1In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water (2 cups) to a boil. Add the ragi flour (½ cup) and stir continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the ragi is fully cooked and thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

2In a separate bowl, soak the oats (1 cup) in 2 cups of milk (2 cups) for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator for a creamier texture.

3In a small saucepan, combine the grated jaggery (½ cup) with a little water (2 cups) and heat gently until it dissolves completely. Set aside.

4In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked oats (1 cup) with the cooked ragi. Stir in the melted jaggery (½ cup) and mix well until everything is evenly combined.

5Add the diced apple (1) and sliced banana (1) to the mixture, folding them in gently to avoid mashing the fruits.

6Add the cinnamon stick (1) to the bowl for flavor. You can remove it before serving or leave it in for a stronger cinnamon taste.

7Serve the Nutty Ragi Oatmeal Delight warm or chilled, garnished with additional fruit or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
