Notes :

This rice porridge is generally prepared with parboiled rice (puzhungal arisi in Tamil). But you can use any variety of rice which is locally available.
When selecting apples, choose sweet tasting apples. Gala or red delicious variety tastes sweet.
This rice porridge will become thick after cooling down, so switch off the flame accordingly. Adjust with warm water or milk while feeding if it becomes too thick.
Generally rice & apple doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
Salt or sugar is not advisable for babies under one year.
