Ragi Chocolate Milkshake | Fingermillet Chilled Drink Recipe | Ragi Recipe

I love recipes using Ragi/ Fingermillet, we all know the benefits of this millet and try to use it on our day to day diet. Off late I have been trying new recipes using ragi that I keep posting in my blog from time to time. One good thing is that R and me we both love Ragi, I tried this Ragi chocolate milkshake sometime back and I have made this around 4-5 times and before I could think of clicking some pictures for the blog this milkshake has vanished ;-) and the big kid at home (husband) never seems to lose his excitement about this drink. I am sure kids and adults will enjoy this equally.

Cooks Wisdom

- You can use up left over ragi koozhu to make this milkshake, but make sure that the ragi mass is cooled before blending it along with milk
- I only used milk to blend the milkshake you can use ice cream or even cream for a rich flavour  nevertheless this drink is great just with milk in my opinion
- You can skip vanilla extract incase you are using vanilla ice cream 
- If you are diet concious use fat free milk, palm jaggery syrup or sugar free pallets
