How To Make Ragi Sprouts At Home

  • To make ragi sprouts at home, first soak the ragi seeds in sufficient water for an overnight or 6-8 hours.

  • After soaking time, drain all the ragi seeds and spread them evenly on a wet cloth on a corner of your house that is warm. Remember that the cloth should not be too wet till dripping, nor be too dry. Close in another wet cloth on top of the sprouting ragi and set aside.

  • Do not disturb this set up for at least 4 hours. Remember that sprouting depends on the constant and warmer temperature. If the weather is cold, you can keep this set up in an oven.

  • Preheat oven to 120 degree C for 3 minutes. Switch off. And keep the bundled cloth within and close the oven. Do not disturb for 4 hours.

  • After sprouting time, you can take the cloth and the small sprouts will have emerged.

  • You can use these ragi sprouts in cutlets, or dry them under shade on a sunny day for an hour or two and dry grind to use in recipes which call for ragi flour.
