- Boil cows milk (if using) in a sauce pan and keep it ready.
Method
- Keep all the ingredients ready. Peel the apple with a peeler. Remove the seeds.

- Cook the suji/rava in medium flame for 3 minutes or until the suji/rava gets cooked completely. Stir it continuously while cooking otherwise it may stick to the vessel. Once its cooked add grated apples. Mix well. Cook it further for 3 more minutes.
- Now Add 1/2 cup of milk now to the cooked suji/rava. Switch off the flame & when the kheer is warm and add breastmilk or formula. No need to cook further if using breastmilk or formula. If you use cow's milk, boil the kheer for 5 more minutes or until it becomes thick. Remove from flame once done and cool it down. The kheer becomes thick after cooling down. So switch off the flame accordingly.

Yummy suji kheer with apple is ready to feed your baby.
Notes :
- Choose organic suji/rava (with wheat & without maida) for making baby food.
- When selecting apples, choose sweet tasting apples. I use gala and red delicious variety for my baby.
- Choose apples that are firm and discolored.
- Skip cows milk if your baby is under a year old. Use breastmilk or formula instead and no need to cook the same.
- Generally suji/rava or 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.
- This suji apple Kheer becomes thick when cooled down. So switch off the flame when it is little watery.
- If your baby doesn’t like the texture of suji/rava, make it to a powder by grinding in a blender.
- Add milk at room temperature & don’t cook Apple for more time. Otherwise it may get curdled.

July 20, 2016 at 6:45 amUsually I'm giving idly and ragi porridge for breakfast for my 16 month daughter. This can be given as breakfast.
Will this be stomach filling food?
