Urad dal is rich in protein, carbohydrates and fats making it the best weight gaining food for babies. Here I’m making a simple traditional food for babies using this urad dal. This can be given to babies after 8 months.
INGREDIENTS:
Urad Dal - 1/4 cup
Red rice - 1/4 cup
Oats - 1 tbsp
Cashews - 2
Cardamom - 1
Panakalkadam/ palm sugar - 2 piece
Water - 1/2 cup
Ghee- 1/2 tsp
METHOD:
1. Dry roast urad dal and rice seperatly until it changes the color to light brown.
2. Add oats and cashews in the same pan and dry roast it for few mins.
3. Once it completely cools down, make a fine powder using a blender jar. You can store this porridge mix for about 4 months.
4. Now to make porridge, take a thick bottom pan and add 1 tbsp of porridge mix and panakalkadam. You can cook it with water or milk. If you are giving this for less than 1 yr baby add water.
5. Add 1/2 cup of water and make a lump free mixture. Switch on the flame and cook it on medium flame for about 3-4 minutes.
5. Now add ghee and mix well. Turn off the flame.
6. Urad dal cereal is ready.......
7. Never reuse any cooked porridge after 2 hours of preparation.
