Expert Tips
After washing the rice, you can even sundry it but I prefer roasting it as such.If you are sun drying it then make sure to keep it covered to avoid dust and insects. Don’t let it brown, just roast in low flame. I used normal cooking rice we use, you can try with any other rice variety too. But always consult your paediatrician before introducing any new food. I powdered it in small mixer jar and it was nicely powdered more like our rice flour.I kept grinding it again and again to get that texture. If your cereal is little coarse then you need to cook for more time. You can store this in a clean jar for upto 3months.It comes handy during travel. Cook in low flame, make sure it gets cooked well.Each coarse mixture should be mashable, you can taste and check it. Adding carrot water / dal water is optional but enhances the tastes so I prefer adding. You can even add few drops of ghee while feeding or add it to the porridge while cooking itself.I use homemade ghee. This porridge gets thick after cooling down so switch off accordingly.
