Our own Karnataka’s special – traditional authentic ragi mudde done/steamed using beetroot juice !! Yes continuing with my trial & error process of how to use beetroot in many ways, today I just tried out making ragi mudde/finger millet steamed balls, using beetroot juice/water.
And it is a big hit ! I can’t express my happiness in words. Beetroot & Ragi together, has really become one of the super food in even more healthier way. I think this is a very good choice for those people who are suffering from anemia, who have low calcium levels, who want to loose weight.
Ragi is also a rich source of fiber and helps lower cholesterol and beetroot as we know is a wonder vegetable. Let’s see how to make beetroot ragi mudde/ball.

PROCEDURE :
- Grind grated beetroot using 1/2 cup of water into a fine paste and pass it through the strainer, squeeze well and collect the juice in a vessel, we get little more than 3/4 cup of juice, so add little more water to the juice to make it 1 cup
- I add/put that strained beetroot pulp into the huli/sambar, which I serve/make/prepare to go with this ragi mudde/ball or we can put/add the pulp into any curry or huli
