    Notes :

    • U can also steam the puttu using puttu maker or pressure cooker.
    • I used homemade sprouted ragi flour for making puttu, you could use store bought ragi flour too.
    • For small babies, don't use whole nuts, instead use in powdered form.
    • U can replace powdered jaggery with sugar or mashed banana.
    • Try this ragi puttu to your baby after introducing ragi separate.
    • Generally ragi doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
    • Salt and sugar are not recommended for babies below one year.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
