    Moong dal khichadi for babies

    Moong dal Khichdi is a nutrition rich lunch option for a baby. I have introduced rice and moong dal separately as rice porridge and dal water to my baby at her 6 th month. Once she is adjusted with rice and dal individually, I offered this moong dal khichdi. Try to feed small amount when you start and later you can increase the quantity.

    Let's check the recipe.

    Notes :
    • Make sure the rice and dal are well cooked.
    • I use homemade ghee for my baby food.
    • Generally rice and moong dal doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.

        I usually make ghee from store-bought butter, which is made from cows milk. cow ghee is good in general
