Method:
 In a heavy based pan or wok over a  heat, boil water along with salt and 1 tbsp ragi powder . To that boiled water , add the remaining flour and leave it for 4 to5 minutes on very medium flame. Do not stir.When you are getting the good smell of ragi, stir with the strong wooden spoon. Keep stirring until the flour becomes smooth and soft without lumps (if you  feel difficulty to stir the contents in the vessel on the flame, switch off the flame and mix it properly). Again cook it for 4 to 5 minutes. It  should be similar to  chapathi dough consistency.
