It is called Finger millet in English, Ragi in Kannada, Kezhvaragu / Keppai In Tamil, Ragulu in Telugu, Nachani in Marathi and Mandika in Hindi. Usually, when ragi is sprouted and made in a sweet version, it is called as malt, but you can use regular ragi flour also. Ragi Kanji can be even given to babies, right from the age of 6+ months, but use water to prepare it as milk gives a heavy feeling, also cooking in milk hinder the absorption of iron from ragi.
