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
- 3/4 Cup Ragi/ Nachni Flour
- 1/4 Cup Oats
- 3-4 tbs Almonds
- 1/3 Cup Jaggery (optional)
- Milk/ Water as per the consistency
METHOD
- Dry roast the Ragi flour and keep aside
- Dry roast oats and blend it in a mixture
- Mix both the above ingredients with water/ milk to achieve the desired consistency

NOTE
- Soak Nachni in water, overnight till it sprouts. Remove access water in a muslin cloth. Dry the nachni and roast it well. Blend it in a mixture till you get fine powder
