    Notes :

    • I used homemade sprouted ragi flour for making kozhukattai, you could use store bought ragi flour too.
    • This ragi kozhukattai tastes best when served immediately. It might get hardens after a while.
    • Try this ragi puttu to your baby after introducing ragi separate.
    • Generally ragi doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
