ರಾಗಿ ಹಾಲಿನ ಹಲ್ವಾ | ರಾಗಿ ಹಲ್ವಾ |
One of the healthy, nutritious, oil/ghee less sweet recipe which is good for and liked by children and aged alike is this awesome, yummiest, healthy whole ragi milk halwa or finger millet milk fudge
I have named this dish as halwa, but this is our own Karnataka special, authentic ragi haalubayi (whole ragi milk fudge) being transformed into halwa.
At my place if I make square pieces of this fudge like haalbai, no one likes to eat unlike whole wheat haalbai. So I always make this like a halwa and sprinkle some dry nuts on it and they finish it without any complaint.
You can also check whole wheat milk mango halwa , avalakki haalbai , akki haalbai (amrutha phala) , whole wheat milk-walnut halwa using jaggery here on my blog.

PROCEDURE :
