About Ragi Porridge
Traditionally Ragi is the first millet recommended to be introduced to babies.This ragi milk porridge helps developing babies digestive system before the baby starts with proper solids like idli,rice etc. I usually feed this koozh with karupatti(palm sugar) syrup or sometimes jaggery syrup .I have a separate post coming up for sweeteners that can be introduced to babies. But it is always good to start sugar and salt after 1 year. I had many requests to post ragi koozh since the day I started Baby Food Series. I understand this is one of the first proven safe solid foods that you can introduce for your babies.

The milk extracted should be watery. Cook in low flame, make sure it gets cooked well. This porridge gets thick after cooling down so switch off accordingly. You can skip sweetener and feed it as such too.
