There are several types of baby food recipes and the recipe changes from family to family. I learnt this recipe from my Mother. I have given this multigrain powder to my son, starting from 5 months and upto 3 years. My Mother-in-law prepares it using soak-grind-strain-dry method, which I will share it soon.
Ragi has numerous health benefits. You can find many ragi recipes on this website. Ragi has high amount of dietary fiber and it helps in weight loss. To read more about ragi or finger millet, please go through ragi rotti, ragi mudde or ragi ball, ragi ambli and ragi dose recipes.
Preparing ragi manni or sari or porridge using this powder is very easy. Just take a tsp of powder and jaggery, mix it with milk and boil it by stirring continuousy. You can refer my "ragi malt" post as the procedure remains same.
