Notes :

• I used basmati rice to prepare curd khichdi. You can use any type of rice to make this khichdi.
• Khichdi has to be creamy and thick, not too dry. So adjust curd accordingly.
• Skip salt for babies below one year.
• Add finely chopped green chilli for older kids if you want to add spiciness.
• You can also add cooked grated carrots and mashed/tiny cut cucumbers  pieces to this khichdi.
• Make sure to introduce each ingredients separate to your baby, before you try this curd khichdi recipe.
• Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
