Rice is one of the safest foods to be fed to your baby. To make instant rice porridge mix, follow these easy steps.
Ingredients:
250 grams rice (Using par-boiled rice will be easier to digest for your baby.)
Method:
1. Wash the rice well and let it dry well in sun. You could dry it in sun or dry it with air.
2. Now take a heavy bottomed pan and roast the rice till they get nicely crisp. You must keep stirring constantly. This should take a few minutes.
3. Now allow it to cool down.
4. Take small quantities in the mixer and grind them into a fine powder.
5. Store in air-tight jars.
6. When you want to use this homemade rice porridge, just take a couple of spoons in a bowl and add boiling hot water. Leave it covered for about 5 minutes and your baby’s food is ready.
7. You could add some roasted cumin seeds or a little organic jaggery if your baby does not take it as is. But it is best not to give sugar in any form so that baby learns to appreciate food in it’s natural form.
8. You may add some mashed banana or applesauce or baby’s formula or milk to this too.
