Ragi mor kali recipe | ragi mor koozh – A healthy buttermilk based Traditional South Indian recipe made using Ragi | finger millet. Mor kali recipe with full video and step by step pictures.
Mor koozh | mor kali is one of my most favorite childhood tiffin. Amma always makes it with rice flour or wheat flour. This mor kali is a very popular and common dish in Tamil Brahmin family. I wanted to make this with Ragi flour for a long time. A few weeks back, I tried this at home and it tasted very nice. Since Ragi is healthy, I thought I will share this recipe as well.
Instead of making this with rice flour, you can soak raw rice or millet into a smooth paste and make mor koozh. We used to enjoy this hot straight from the pan, but some people cool this and cut it into squares and eat. So how you eat is up to your choice.
