Ragi is a small dry cake of raw rice flour and spices, seeded with powder from an older cake. The cakes sit on bamboo trays under muslin for two to five days while moulds and yeasts grow over them, then they are dried. Used with glutinous rice or cassava, ragi makes sweet, mildly alcoholic tape and tapai.

Ohisa describes the flavouring as a mixture of local herbs and spices[ragi2022][ohisa2026]
Water
A small amount, to moisten the flour and herbs into a dough[ohisa2026]

Asian starter cakes are commonly seeded with about 1–2 % of an earlier starter[tamang2016]

Ragi is a small dry cake of raw rice flour and spices, seeded with powder from an older cake. The cakes sit on bamboo trays under muslin for two to five days while moulds and yeasts grow over them, then they are dried. Used with glutinous rice or cassava, ragi makes sweet, mildly alcoholic tape and tapai. Made in 5 steps over 2 days – 5 days. The longest step, incubate on bamboo trays under muslin, takes 2–5 days (Haard N.F 1999) and runs at 25–30 °C (Haard N.F 1999). Amylomyces rouxii and Endomycopsis burtonii do most of the fermenting.
Ragi is a raw rice-flour cake seeded from the last batch, like Chinese xiaoqu and Thai loog-pang. An important mould in it is Amylomyces rouxii and it carries amylolytic yeasts, so one cake both sweetens and ferments the rice.
The FAO bulletin (Haard et al. 1999), citing Steinkraus (1983), groups ragi with Philippine bubod and Korean nuruk as starters made by natural fermentation of raw cereal powder moulded into cakes.
