    Homemade Ragi Malt Powder Recipe for Toddlers and Kids

    Homemade ragi malt powder - healthy malt mix with ragi flour and nuts. I have already posted a version of ragi malt mix with green gram earlier, but this ragi malt mix I have tried with powdered nuts and it turned out super tasty. If you are concerned about your child weight or the quality of food with adequate nutrition in his/her daily intake, then you should start including this healthy ragi malt in your child diet. It's sure a better option than ready made health mixes which are easily available in the market. Though you need to put some effort/time to prepare this powder at home but keep in mind that you are going to make a best choice for your little kid in long runs!

    When to introduce this ragi malt mix powder to babies

    This Homemade ragi malt powder can be given to babies of age one year plus after introducing each nuts and ragi flour separate. Once you ruled out allergies, try this homemade ragi malt powder. 

    When you start begin with ½ teaspoon of this powder and check whether the baby shows any allergic reaction. Check it for 3 days and if the baby is not allergic to it, you can increase the amount gradually. Use this powder to prepare a instant malt with milk or even you can try ladoos. Check the preparation method for ragi malt drink recipe here using this ragi malt powder.

    Here is how to make homemade ragi malt powder for toddlers and kids.
