Dahi Chura - a famous Bihar dessert made with poha aka flattened rice, curd/yogurt. Dahi is yogurt or curd and poha/flattened rice is known as Chura in Bihar and hence the name 'Dahi Chura'. I have adapted the recipe from here. It's such an easy recipe to make within 15 minutes & no cooking is required, hence its ideal for travel. It can be served as a breakfast or as a quick evening snack for babies from 8 months. It's a wholesome food and is sure this dahi Chura is better to alternate to cornflakes!
Let's get on to check how to make this easy Dahi Chura recipe for babies, toddlers & kids.

Instructions

- Keep the soaked poha ready. Cut the fruits and nuts into desired size and keep aside. For small babies, powder the nuts.
- Beat the curd well with a whisk and add sweetener if using.
- Now add the soaked poha, cut fruits and nuts to the beaten curd. Mix well and serve.
