My baby is 3.5 months old and allergic to lactos so doctor advise to give him roasted rice and mug, banana and chiku. Is it advisable
Kalyani
Am not sure about introducing solids at this stage. In general, its recommended after six months. Also as of I know amino acid-based formula is suggested for babies allergic to lactose
Brunda
Can we grind moong separately without mixing with rice? So, we can add it with rice only when ever we want..
gkfooddiary
For small babies moong dal should be cooked for easier digestion. Hence its not recommended to directly mix with rice. For Older kids, you can try
Brunda
No.. I meant, rather than mixing rice and moong Dal together.can I prepare moong Dal powder separately and cook it separately and to mix with rice on a need basis.
gkfooddiary
Yes in that way you can try. I never tried though.

Hi!
This website is really informative and makes it easier for us to make a food chart.
I tried many recipes from your page most of them were liked by my 7 month baby girl except moong dal which she doesn’t like.
Can I use regular rice instead of parboiled rice or poha for making moong dal and rice porridge.
Kalyani
Thank you for writing your feedback 🙂 And yes you can use regular rice which is your family's staple.
