Notes :

• Cooking time of Dalia and water quantity depends on the variety used. Thin type requires less water than mentioned.
• You could also use cow's milk instead of coconut milk for babies above one year.
• Avoid jaggery for babies below one year. Instead, add fruit puree for sweetness.
• Skip whole cashews or raisins for small babies as they lead to choking hazard. Instead, add nuts powder.
• Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
• This dalia kheer becomes a little thicker when cooled down. So switch off the flame when it is a little thick.
• Make sure to introduce each ingredient separately before you try this dalia kheer to your baby.
