Raagi Mudde | Finger millet balls

This recipe is something which I have heard a lot from my bengaluru friends especially R. She prepares it very well I wasn’t fortunate to taste it at least once. I did some google and found the recipe from Wikipedia.

Raagi Mudde, is the staple food in Karnataka (a southern state of India). They normally serve Mudde with a gravy (saaru). A leafy vegetable gravy or a non-veg gravy. I was told by my friend that it tastes good with a mutton curry. So I prepared this with a mutton curry..
