      Hello Aarthi,

      I tried this recipe as it is very nutritious. I added palm jaggery just like you. But the moment I add the jaggery, the ragi malt gets segregated ( it is like milk and ragi look separated), and the consistency is not good at all. Any idea why this happens?

      Thanks !!

        Add jaggery only taking it off the flame. if u cook after adding jaggery then it will get separated
