Dhatu Organics Organic Ragi is whole, cleaned finger millet (Eleusine coracana), known as ragi in Karnataka, nachni in Maharashtra and mandua in the hills. Use it to sprout at home, make your own ragi flour or ragi malt, or cook whole ragi in porridge. It comes from ragi's traditional growing heartland on the Deccan Plateau.

- Kannada / Telugu: ragi · Marathi: nachni · Tamil: kezhvaragu · Hindi: mandua, marua · English: finger millet

How to use whole ragi
- Sprouted ragi at home: soak overnight, drain, and keep covered in a cloth for 24–36 hours until tiny sprouts appear. Dry in the shade, roast lightly and grind for home-made ragi malt. (Prefer it ready? Try our sprouted ragi flour.)
- Home-milled ragi flour: clean, dry and mill at your local flour mill for fresh ragi flour for mudde and rotti.
- Ragi kanji: soak and grind whole ragi, strain the milk, and cook with jaggery or buttermilk.
- Ragi dosa batter: soak whole ragi with rice and urad dal and grind together.
Which pack should I buy?
Choose 500g to try it, and 1kg if you make ragi flour or malt at home regularly.
Frequently asked questions
Is ragi the same as finger millet and nachni?
Yes. Ragi (Kannada), nachni (Marathi), mandua (Hindi) and finger millet (English) are all the same grain.
Should I buy whole ragi or ragi flour?
Buy whole ragi if you want to sprout it or mill it fresh yourself. For ready-to-use flour, see our ragi page, which compares ragi flour, sprouted ragi flour, ragi malt and huri hittu.
I have diabetes. Can I eat ragi?
Ragi is a whole grain with plenty of fibre, but it is still a carbohydrate food. Please ask your doctor or dietitian how it fits into your meal plan.
How should I store it?
Keep airtight in a cool, dry place. Whole ragi keeps much longer than ragi flour.
