Main Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Jeera (Cumin Seeds)
- 1 ½ teaspoon Ginger, chopped
- 3/4 cup diced Carrots
- 3/4 cup diced French Green Beans
- 3 ½ cups Water (divided as 3.5 cups + 0.5 cup)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 cup chopped Mushrooms
- 1/2 cup Ragi (Finger Millet)
Instructions
- Heat Spices and Vegetables: In a pot, heat the ghee and add cumin seeds (jeera). Once the seeds start spluttering, add chopped ginger, diced carrots, French green beans, salt, pepper, and 3.5 cups of water.
- Simmer Vegetables: Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften and flavors to blend.
- Add Mushrooms: Stir in the chopped mushrooms and continue simmering for 2 to 3 minutes to cook the mushrooms through.
- Prepare Ragi Slurry: In a separate bowl, mix the ragi flour with half a cup of water, stirring well until smooth and lump-free to form the ragi slurry.
- Incorporate Ragi Slurry: Slowly pour the ragi slurry into the simmering soup while continuously stirring to prevent lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Thicken the Soup: Continue stirring as the soup thickens. Let it simmer for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until it reaches a creamy consistency, then turn off the heat.
- Serve Hot: Ladle the hot ragi soup into bowls and serve immediately to enjoy the comforting warmth and nutrient-rich flavors.
