Rice and Dal Powder for Babies























Ingredients:

Rice - 1 cup
Yellow Split Moong Dal / Pasi Paruppu - 1/4 cup
Masoor Dal - 1/4 cup
Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
Asafoetida / Hing / Kaya Podi - 1/2 tsp
Homemade ghee - 1 tsp

For Making Porridge:
Rice Dal Powder - 2 tblspn
Nuts Powder - 2 tsp
Water - 3/4 cup
Salt to taste (optional)
Homemade Ghee - 1 tsp

Method:

Wash rice and dal in lots of water till it is completely cleaned. Drain it and dry it.

Heat ghee in a thick bottom kadai. Add in the washed rice and dal and roast them on a medium heat till it is golden. It will take around 20 to 25 mins.

Now remove them to a plate and let it cool.

In the same pan roast cumin and asafoetida for a couple of mins and remove them as well.

Now take everything in a blender and powder them finely.

Place a sieve over a place and sieve this mix. You will get some coarse crumbs, add that back in blender and powder again and sieve it again.

Once everything is done, allow the powder to cool and then store in a air tight container. 

I store these in fridge.

When making porridge, i add couple tblspn of this powder and 2 tsp of the nuts powder. I mix them well with 3/4 water and heat  it. I cook this on low heat till it is cooked, it will take around 5 mins.

Now remove them from heat and allow it to cool a bit, you can add some salt and some ghee for taste and feed your baby.
