Hi,
I tried sprouting ragi. But after sprouting for 2 days I made it into a flour. Ragi flour has some smell (pulicha smell). What is the reason for this

The problem is water only. If you not remove the excess water from the soaked ragi (8 hours) means it will smell after sprouting.
For that first hung the soaked ragi for 8 hours and remove the excess water. After that place some kitchen paper towel at the bottom of the hot box and remove it once the excess water is absorbed fully. And then continue the sprouting process... This time you will definitely success.
