2 tablespoon Jaggery (or Sugar or Dates ), ¼ teaspoon Cardamom powder
Add milk little by little as required to reach the desired consistency and simmer for a minute. Switch off the flame.

I have garnished with toasted cashews and raisins as I love the crunch it gives to the malt. It is optional.

Notes

To make ragi malt more nutritious, you can even add one or two tablespoons of nut powder (cashew, almond, etc.) while preparing ragi slurry.
I have used whole milk. But you can use any nut-based or plant-based milk to make this recipe vegan.
Adjust the amount of milk to get the desired consistency.
Ragi malt tastes the best when served warm and fresh.
Ragi malt thickens when cooled down. In this case, you can thin it down with water or milk.
The amount of jaggery can be varied to taste.
Substitute jaggery with dates. That is, blend dates in a mixer grinder and add.
