Health mix powder/ Sathu Maavu/ homemade Cerelac powder for babies is made of more healthy ingredients and suggested as a best nutrient-rich food for babies. But many mothers are worried that their babies don't prefer this sathu maavu porridge or homemade Cerelac porridge made with health mix powder when they grow.
It was my sister's idea to try making dumplings or paniyaram & dosa with health mix powder and should say I loved it. I am sure that babies will like it too as my little daughter had it and kept asking for more. I am delighted that I have found a way to include the health mix powder in babies diet, yes it's sure a winner for me!!!
You can either make paniyaram/ dumplings with this health mix powder. Both are tastes equally good. I will surely opt for paniyaram or dumplings as it's more healthy If I was given a choice. If you don't own a paniyaram pan to make dumplings, you could opt for dosa. This divine smelling dumplings or dosa can be given to babies from 10 months as a delicious snack.
