Notes
- Water quantity for cooking ragi and raw rice may differ, so adjust accordingly.
- Usually they soak ragi flour overnight and then add cooked rice to it. This is done to get a slightly sour taste. I have shared the instant version.
- Always use a heavy bottomed vessel to cook the koozh else it will stick to the bottom. I used a claypot.
- While cooking keep in low flame and cook else lumps may form easily. Keep mixing with a ladle / whisk.
- The koozh thickens with time so adjust water / buttermilk accordingly.
- I used thick curd so had to add more water. Make sure you cool down the koozh completely before adding buttermilk.
- Koozh thickens with time, add hot water to make it runny.
