11. Sieve it as many times as possible until u don’t find any residue.
Note :This method will ensure removal of impurities and husk completely. The powder will be a mix of white n browish red if pure. Add 2 spoons of this mix to 1.5 cups of water n cook for 10 to 15 minutes. This will not thicken like pudding. It will be semi solid only
P.S:
Check for the growth sprouts daily and sprinkle little water if it does not sprout.
The powder would be hot after grinding. Allow it to cool by spreading before you store.
You can also make a fine powder even without let it sprout. But dry roast before grinding.
Ragi impurities/husk might irritate babies bowel movements. So sieve it as many times as possible.
