Ragi/Nachni Porridge

The beauty of porridge’s is in it’s Simplicity & Nutrition Value. It’s a meal you can feed your kid right from his toddler days to adulthood obviously making some changes as they grow.
I personally consider it a wholesome meal specially for breakfast. And if it is made of ingredient like nachni/ragi, the word healthy will feel short.
Well I started giving this porridge to my little one since 7 months of age and am sharing this recipe with you moms.
INGREDIENTS
