To make smooth ragi balls, knead the dough while it's still warm and soft. Always steam the balls thoroughly to keep them non-sticky. Customize the stir-fry with seasonal vegetables like zucchini, beans, or bell peppers. Use ghee for added aroma and nutrition. Don’t skip coconut and lemon—they balance the earthy flavor of ragi. For crunch, roast the sesame seeds before adding. Serve hot to enjoy the best texture and flavor combo.
