• Erythritol or stevia - 3 tablespoons (or to taste)
• Cardamom powder - 1/2 teaspoon

• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee over medium heat.
2. Add the ragi flour and roast it until it turns slightly aromatic and light brown, about 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously to avoid burning.
3. In a separate pot, bring 300 ml of water to a boil.
4. Once the ragi is roasted, slowly add the boiling water to the pan while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
5. Add erythritol or stevia, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt, and mix well.
6. Cook the mixture on low heat for about 10-12 minutes until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.

8. Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
