I&#8217;m going to show you how to make this tasty finger millet pudding the Goan way. The recipe has a modern twist. Instead of starting with soaking the ragi seeds, we&#8217;ll start with Ragi flour. And the pudding is made with no sugar, no milk, and yet it&#8217;s an iron and calcium rich dessert. This delicious instant ragi pudding is a modern take on a traditional Goan recipe, and is made with ragi flour, jaggery, and coconut milk. Perfect for a healthy dessert, it&#8217;s a vegan dish, and a naturally gluten-free pudding.<\/p>\n<p>This quick version cuts down on time but keeps all the flavour. Ragi is a super millet that helps in lowering bad cholesterol levels and also believed to slow down the process of aging. It is called nachni in Goa and Maharashtra, and finger millet in English.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in some other tasty puddings, you might enjoy the <a href=\"https:\/\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/2021\/07\/03\/goantizaanandgoanambil\/\">Goan tizaan<\/a> (a softer and less sweet version of today&#8217;s pudding), <a href=\"https:\/\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/2022\/03\/12\/simplegoangoddxemrecipe\/\">multigrain Goan pudding &#8211; goddxem<\/a>, my <a href=\"https:\/\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/2023\/08\/18\/easycaramelbreadpuddingrecipe\/\">steamed caramel bread pudding<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/2024\/05\/31\/deliciousnoagaragarmangopudding\/\">creamy no agar-agar, no gelatin, mango pudding<\/a>, my easy <a href=\"https:\/\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/2024\/01\/01\/richdeliciouseasycoconutpudding\/\">coconut pudding<\/a>, my super tasty <a href=\"https:\/\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/2022\/05\/06\/quickcoffeepuddingrecipe\/\">coffee pudding<\/a>,\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/2021\/06\/12\/mangopuddingsteamedandbaked\/\">my baked and steamed versions of mango pudding without corn flour<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/2022\/06\/03\/lusciousquickmangokheer\/\">creamy mango kheer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y-C-XOIouDs?si=s1cfe-mWx9WihhDM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>90g (\u00be cup) nachni satva \/nachni (ragi) flour<\/p>\n<p>1 \u00bc cup coconut milk (from \u00be cup grated coconut)<\/p>\n<p>\u00bd cup water<\/p>\n<p>\u00bc tsp salt<\/p>\n<p>160g (\u00be cup + 1 tbsp) grated jaggery<\/p>\n<p>\u00bd tsp ground cardamom<\/p>\n<p>3 tbsp chopped cashew nuts<\/p>\n<p>2 tsp ghee<\/p>\n<p>A few cashew nuts and pistachios for topping<\/p>\n<p>2 tsp sesame seeds<\/p>\n<p>6-inch cake pan for setting the pudding<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1433\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Finger-millet-pudding.jpg?resize=500%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Finger millet pudding\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Finger-millet-pudding.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/veenapatwardhan.com\/pat-a-cake\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Finger-millet-pudding.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Procedure<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Extract coconut milk or reconstitute coconut milk powder or use canned coconut milk.<\/li>\n<li>Add nachni satva to pan.
