Ragi sweet adai recipe, Kezhvaragu sweet adai

Ragi sweet adai/ Finger millet sweet adai/ Kezhvaragu sweet adai is a delicious and healthy breakfast / snack prepared with ragi / finger millet flour, jaggery and flavored with cardamom. This is a quick and easy to make breakfast recipe involving just handful ingredients or can be served as a quick snack to satisfy that small sweet cravings. Ragi/ Kezhavargu is usually consumed during hot/ sunny day as it acts a body coolant and I thought before summer comes to an end I shall post this recipe and finally its here. I have made this kezhvaragu sweet adai with ghee as it tastes good with that but if you don’t like it you could use regular oil. Also you can add more or less jaggery according to your liking I have used ¼ quantity as we like it that way.
