A. If not cooked well ya it cause constipation. Wash ragi seeds thoroughly for four to five times. And soak it overnight. Take some ragi in a mixer and blend it well. Add little little water and keep adding remaining ragi and blend it. Now filter the blended mix to extract the ragi water. Which would be n cream color. Add little water and cook the milk. Keep string well until it becomes like porridge. You can add little jaggery for taste. You can add ghee to it post seven months.
