Notes
There is not much kneading that can be done with this flour, the chia seed mix and ghee is good enough to get this mixed up well. If the dough is not coming together, you can add 1 tablespoon of water or little more(do not add too much).
Please ensure that you use baking soda and not baking powder
You may replace raw sugar with jaggery
I made 10 cookies with 1 cup ragi flour.
