 Laee cook as plain liquidity where as adding fermented rice is Jaoo.
My mom used to make huge amount of Jaoo or laee for breakfast and she handover us a full bowl of Jaoo with few side dishes.

 Due to the cooling properties, this food is highly recommended in the summer months.

Keep aside.
Heat 4 Cup water in a wok along with half teaspoon of salt .Once the water comes to a full boiling point, slowly add the ragi mixture in the boiling water stir continuously to avoid lumps. 
Cook until it thick and become a sauce like consistency.
Remove from stove and let this mixture cool completely.
Once it cool add curd whisk it well taste it and adjust salt.
Adjust consistency when adding curd, according to your preference.
We like ours a bit thick rather than thin.
Want to eat chill then chill it few hours before serving. 

 You can also add chopped onions,green chillies, coriander leaves and tomatoes for different tastes.
