    Notes:
    • Soaking time depends on the poha variety used. I used thick poha and soaked for 5 minutes.
    • Too much soaking makes the poha mushy and less soaking makes it hard to chew.
    • For small babies, skip coconut and nuts.
    • I used white poha. Red poha has more nutrients than white hence it's highly recommended.
    • Generally, poha doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
    • Jaggery can be replaced with sugar, palm jaggery, palm sugar for babies above one year. For babies below one year, you can try with mashed banana.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.

        You should avoid any sweet items during cold. Otherwise you can give this as a snack, perfect for this winter.
