Procedure to prepare Ragi Malt Powder


I recommend the freshers to learn the basics of weighing the grains,


1 Ser = 2 Adher = 4 Pav = 16 Chattank = 80 Tola = 933.1 grams


1 Savaser = 1 Ser + 1 Pav (1¼ Seer)
1Savasher weighed 30 Imperial rupees
In Hindi 1¼ Seer = Sava (1¼) Seer, or Savaser
1 Dhaser = 2 Savaser = 2½ Seer
In Hindi 2½ Seer = Dhai (2½) Seer, or Dhaser
1 Paseri = 2 Adisari = 5 Seer
In Hindi 5 Seer = Panch(5) Seer, or Paseri for short
1 Daseri = 2 Pasri = 10 Seer
In Hindi 10 Seer = Das(10) Seer, or Daseri for short
1 Maund = 4 Daseri = 8 Pasri = 40 Seer



The below ragi malt procedure is for the quantity of one ser (1 seer) Ragi:


1. Wash one ser ragi till it becomes completely clean, allow it for 24 hours to sprout (you can wrap washed ragi in a cloth for it to sprout at a faster rate).

2. Dry it completely under sun and fry it in a pan without oil.

3. Fry one chattank ( may be of your fist size) green gram.

4. Fry one chattank red gram (thoor dhal-not red color ).

5. Fry one chattank black gram.

6. Fry one chattank Bengal gram (channa dhal).

7. Add two teaspoon black pepper, one teaspoon fenugreek seeds (methi), and two teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera) to the fried content.

8. Add dryfruits if required.

Note: The baby should be of minimum 6 months old for dry fruits.


9. Grind to make it a flour.


The mentioned quantity is grinded in a flour mill shop. After grinding, take a thin cotton piece of cloth (bigger size – may be half the size of your duppatta), cover the opening of the vessel and wrap it around the vessel neck. Filter the flour to get the finely grinded flour.


If you are grinding at home for a small quantity then fine grind it. No need to filter it.
The above mentioned quantity can be used for more than a month based on the regular usage.

The Delicious and healthy ragi malt powder is ready!

My Mother

This year, I consider my mother as my valentine on the valentines day. There are many memorable moments of mine with my mother, which has always motivated me in many ways. Now, I would like to share one instance of my childhood, which I always remember when I think of my responsibility as a mother.

When I was four year old, my parents,we four siblings, and three brothers of my parents were staying in a government quarters, which was located in the city outskirts. My mother was the only female who used to take care of we nine family members and all the house-hold work.

I used to travel with my siblings in a local bus to school. In order to manage her work better she used to make us get ready in school uniform by 6:30 in the morning and send us for tuition class. By the time we finish our tuition class and reach the bus stop, my mother would be present there with the breakfast and tiffin boxes. After having the break fast and boarding the bus, I used to see a sign of relief and also a fear on her face. Relief of feeding us on time and fear of sending us in a local bus at a very small age.

At that time I felt my mother as a caring woman and now, whenever I remember this instance I feel my mother not only as a caring woman, but also as :

M- Motivator
O - Obedient
T - Teacher
H - Honorable
E- Ethical
R - Responsible person
