Love singing the rhyme to my older daughter when she started to consume solids and rather the excitement of eating she will be excited to hear me sing with my not so smooth voice.Anyway let's come to the details of the drink.This is again a very simple recipe ,put together by incorporating the idea from my mother's ragi Kanji/porridge.The main ingredient of this drink should be ragi.Cleansing and preparing ragi for this drink is cumbersome .Subbed with oats for ragi.When we were in our teens my mom used to make this every day and make us drink early morning .No cofee or tea those days.It is packed with full of proteins and good nutrients .Drinking a cup or two will keep us energetic until lunch.My brother and myself used to grudge so much to drink .My mom miles apart now , realize the value of this drink and prepares the powder when the stock from India gets over.This is a very healthy drink and during pregnancy helps sustain the nausea .

Note:Store the remaining powder in an airtight container in a cool dry place and it stays for several months.
Folks  who would like to add ragi ,wash the ragi throughly ,tie it in a soft cloth and let the water drain and leave it for a day to sprout .Once the ragi  begins to sprout  dry roast and grind it along with other ingredients.
