Hi Anu

I am not sure about residue or milk. But the way I am planning to give ragi is -

soak ragi, let it sprout, dry it in the sun/kadai, then grind it fine. This powder can be used to make kanji.

Dear ,just now saw your post,I hope its not too late. I used to prepare raagi fresh for her everyday. Soak it overnight,grind and take the milk .again grind the raagi in the mixie, add some water and take the milk .I will repeat this until only the bran remains.Then I used to cook the milk in low heat,later add little bit of formula and jaggery.

If you want to prepare the powder in large scale ,its the same way as you do,but you will have to keep the milk for a longer period of time so that all the powder will settle down and the top portion(water ) will be somewhat clear. Then discard the water and dry the powder.

Regards,
Mrs.
