Serve the poha kheer warm!

• This poha kheer tastes best with coconut milk. Poha kheer gets a little thickened after cooled down, so switch off the flame accordingly.
• Skip jaggery and cow's milk for babies below one year. Add fruits if you prefer more sweetness.
• If using cow's milk and jaggery together, make sure to add cow's milk at room temperature, as it might get curdled.
• If using formula milk, heat the poha nuts mix without adding formula. Prepare formula milk separately and add it to the kheer once its cooled down.

• Make sure to introduce each ingredient separately to your baby, before you try this poha kheer recipe.
