Notes :
- I used thick poha variety, you can either use thin or thick variety based on the availability.
- If the porridge becomes too thick, add boiled water/formula or breast-milk to adjust the consistency while feeding.
- You could also add ¼ cup of boiled milk for babies above one year.
- You can even use red poha variety which is more healthier. But soaking and cooking time will be more than mentioned.
- Skip jaggery and whole raisins for babies below one year. Instead soak raisins overnight and make a paste with little water using a blender and add it.
- Always check with your doctor before giving any new food to your baby.
- Make sure to introduce sweet potato & poha separate to your baby before you try this sweet potato poha porridge .
