This sooji upma recipe can be given to babies from 7 months. It tastes bland if ghee is not added, so make sure to add mentioned amount of ghee. Check more sooji recipes for babies and kids here.

Sooji Upma Recipe

Notes :

If your baby prefers more pouring consistency, add 1.5 cups of water.
Fine sooji is preferable for babies, if you don't get fine variety, grind the sooji in a mixer to a coarse powder and use.
You can even skip tempering when you introduce but don't skip ghee as it gives an added taste to the upma.
Add sooji to hot water little by little, don't add all at once. Keep stirring until there are no lumps.
Skip the salt for babies below one year.
You can add 2 tablespoon of any vegetable puree once the upma is cooked.
Always check with your doctor before giving any new food to your baby.
