Ragi biscuits or ragi cookies recipe – eggless biscuits recipe with step by step photos
ragi biscuit eggless
These are one of the most cherished cookies in my home. They can be prepared with ragi and whole wheat flour in equal quantities. I also sometimes use equal amounts of ragi and unbleached plain flour since my kids don’t like the cookies made using only ragi flour. I have tried different versions of making ragi cookies. But this recipe seems to be the best in terms of taste. Using plain flour masks the husky taste and appearance of ragi flour. They taste just wonderful and are healthy. If you are health conscious and trying to limit maida then use whole wheat flour.

The ragi cookies recipe shared here is an eggless ragi biscuits, in case you don’t mind using egg, check Ragi cookies, the most delicious cookies.

    I think I once saw that we could order these from you online. I can’t find that now. Or am I confusing your site with another one?
    Thanks!

      Lakshmi you can skip baking powder but not soda i guess. I haven’t tried it without soda. May be you can try with a small quantity to check. I guess they come out hard. To make without soda & baking powder, you can try these ragi cookies but there is an egg used in the recipe.

    Hi, tried these today. Tastes good. However not happy with texture. It dint form a proper dough like yours. It was all apart. I was able to make small balls, but everything together dint come together. I used the exact measurements. Anything else that I had to take care of? I live in a colder place. The temperature when I made these might be around 18-20 c. Let me know if I can modify anything else?

      Hi Betty
      This recipe uses only ghee or butter for binding. Probably it is due to your cold climate or may be using hot ghee will be helpful.. You will need to use more ghee or butter for binding. There is no other fix.

        HI, Swasthi and Betty,
        I have tried your Ragi cookies a few months back, and they were awesome.
        Today is the second time im going to make it. Dough looks good already!.

        Well, regarding the dough getting apart, and not binding well, it happened with me too this time when im making them (I too am having about the same temperature as you mentioned… its cool where I stay!). For now I just added a few drops of milk and the dough pretty much kinda came together. So you too can try doing that the next time.

        Let us know how it works for you. 🙂
        Meanwhile I will also update you in a few hours about how my cookies come out 🙂
