        Yes you can use ragi millet. The home made ragi powder mentioned in the post is prepared from ragi millet by soaking, washing and sprouting it.

        Thanks a lot for your kind words! You can dry it under fan or room light if you couldn't sun dry it..and yes you can skip sprouting part and blend it after drying and roasting..
