infant food

Khichdi :
Introducing solids to all infants should start with rice based meals, paediatricians suggest, owing to their richness in carbohydrates, minerals and iron.

• Take a couple of teaspoons of rice and moong dal in 1:2 proportions.
• Pressure cook with small bits of vegetables like carrots, spinach, coriander, potatoes, beans and cauliflower and little turmeric.
• Add no salt at all.
• You may puree this or just finely mash into a thin paste.
• Add a few drops of ghee. Ready to serve.
