Baby Food- Desi

I want khalis desi recipes for babies or kids. Desi kids are generally unhealthy so i think we should help eachother out with some khalis recipes.

Heres one to begin with.

Halwa for babies 6 mths+
Half cup sooji (semolina)
Two tablespoons unsalted butter
Two tablespoons raw sugar
Two tablespoons milk
One cardamom
One tablespoon almond meal
and water.

Melt butter, add cardamom fry for half a minute.
Add sooji, sugar, milk and some water to dissolve the sugar. Cook for 5 minutes until you get a smooth consistency. Add almond meal and serve.

All of it may not be eaten at once, so try to give a little at a time during the course of the day.

Sago is very healty for little ones. It has a cooling effect and should be given in summers. You can either give it as a snack or breakfast.

Sago
Two tablespoons of sago
One tablespoon of honey
One cardamom
One cup of full cream milk
One cup of water

Boil sago in water and add cardamom. Until the colour becomes transparent. Add milk and simmer, you can add more milk if you want. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Cool off and add honey.

I shall, thank you diamond321 :)

You could make this without sugar, and the baby would still like it.

This is nice for older kids.

Re: Baby Food- Desi

masha ALLAH my 8months old daughter likes to eat mostly spicy food or sweets, she doesnt like the pheeki baby food that much, so what i do is i add lots of yogurt to regular pulao or biryani n give her that to eat...or just blend some regular dessert like milk sawaiyyan or kheer for her.
Oatmeal is also easiest to make n healthy to eat...i use regular one n then blend it for her.
make cheddar cheese toast with ghee its soo healthy.
or take chopped apples, boil them in little water with cinnamon powder.
mix different fruits like strawberries, bananas, mangoes in yogurt.
