    Broccoli Poha Recipe for Babies, Toddlers and Kids

    Broccoli Poha Recipe for Babies, Toddlers and Kids

    Broccoli Poha - easy healthy breakfast recipe made with poha & broccoli. This broccoli poha is my recent try. When I was thinking about broccoli recipes, I got this recipe from a cook book. I was doubtful how the combination would be, but it was really good and the little one at home liked it:).

    I have used small cut broccoli florets as my daughter loves to eat broccoli that way. But I would suggest to shred the broccoli florets after cooking if your child is not fond of broccoli, in that way they won't find its made of broccoli. This broccoli poha can be given to babies after 10 months once they started eating all family foods. Do give this healthy recipe a try and update with your feedback:)

    Here is how to make easy and healthy broccoli poha recipe for babies, toddlers and kids.

    Notes :

    • I used thick poha variety, you can either use thin or thick variety based on the availability.
    • You could also add cashews or nuts powder while tempering.
    • You can shred the broccoli using a hand or with blender in case if your child don't like broccoli florets.
    • You can even use red poha variety which is more healthier.
    • You can skip tempering with all dals and use only cumin seeds if you are trying this recipe for small babies.
    • Any cooked vegetables can be used instead of broccoli.
    • You can add red or green chillies for spiciness.
    • Always check with your doctor before giving any new food to your baby.
    • Make sure to introduce everything separate to your baby before you try this broccoli poha.
