I got this recipe from a baby book, i loved it so much..Because i am feeding khichdi for maha each day. Making it in small portion is really hard for me. Because i use my pressure cooker, since it is a very small portion, someday the khichdi gets burned and someday i cook too much of khichdi and it gets wasted. So when i saw this instant dal and rice powder, i tried it immediately and maha loved it too. Check out my other health powders too and porridge recipe too..
This is just roasting dal and rice in a tsp of ghee for quite a long time till it is golden and roasted. Now add some roasted cumin and asaofetida and powder them finely.
Things to remember before making this powder:
1)Make sure you roast the rice and dal well before grinding it.
2)Always make small batches, so the powder stays fresh always.
3)I store the powder in a air tight container in fridge.
4)This porridge can be given for babies who are above 6 months.
5)This powder doesn't cause constipation in babies.
6)The consistency of the porridge which you make totally depends on you. You can make it too runnier and pour it bottles and feed your baby or make it little thicker and feed your baby using a spoon.
7)If you feed a good bowl of this for your baby. Your baby will sleep peacefully for a good 2 to 3 hours. It is that filling.
8)You can add a touch of salt for taste and drizzle some homemade ghee.
