Dry fruits powder for babies

I am thinking for a long time to post this dry fruits powder for babies. I made a batch of this dry fruits powder & homemade cerelac powder/Sathu mavu powder (recipe soon) last time in bulk. I was waiting for the powders to got over and make a new batch & click it. Finally I made both the powders last weekend!!!! Check my other version of nuts powder here with tips and tricks on how to gets fine powder without any lumps.

This dry fruits powder can be given to babies of age eight months plus after introducing each nuts separately to your baby. It can be added to the porridge's, desserts or even purees. When you start add ¼ teaspoon of this dry fruits powder to the baby food and check whether she shows any allergic reaction. Check it for 3 days and if the baby is not allergic to it, you can increase the amount to ½ teaspoon to 1 tsp.

Notes :

  • You can store this dry fruits powder in airtight container and keep it in refrigerator. It stays well for a month.
  • Blanch almonds and remove skin while making this powder for small babies.
  • Adding roasted gram dal is purely optional. It helps to make porridge thick when you add this dry fruits powder to the porridge. For making dry fruits milk its not necessary so skip it if you are preparing this powder exclusively to add in milk.
  • Adding small amount of dry ginger helps in digestion. Feel free to skip it if you think your baby may not like the dry ginger flavor.
  • Make sure you cool down completely after roasting & blending. Otherwise it will let out moisture.
  • Don't blend it for more time, as the nuts may leave oil.
  • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.

    Please guide me.

  70. You can store it in the fridge and use it for 3-4 months. If you have added more walnut, it may taste bitter. if the taste is not good, don't give it for baby
