    Sweet Potato Poha Recipe for Babies, Toddlers and Kids

    Sweet Potato Poha Recipe for Babies, Toddlers and Kids

    Sweet Potato Poha - easy healthy breakfast recipe made with poha & sweet potatoes. This healthy poha can be done in jiffy and hence its ideal for busy mornings. You can even make it with aloo/potatoes instead of sweet potatoes. I usually make plain poha upma or sometimes with vegetables or make it with potatoes as aloo poha. I have tried this sweet potato poha last week as I had to finish the left over sweet potato which is lying in my vegetables basket. It tasted so good and apt for kids ! I should say it's one of the best way to include sweet potatoes into fussy eaters diet. This sweet potato poha can be given to babies after 10 months once they started eating all family foods.

    Here is how to make easy and healthy sweet potato poha recipe for babies, toddlers and kids.

    Notes :

    • I used thick poha variety, you can either use thin or thick variety based on the availability.
    • You could also add cashews or nuts powder while tempering.
    • You can even use red poha variety which is more healthier.
    • Any cooked vegetables can be used instead of sweet potatoes.
    • Always check with your doctor before giving any new food to your baby.
    • Make sure the sweet potatoes are soft enough to bite but not too mushy.
    • Skip sugar and salt for babies below one year.
    • Make sure to introduce everything separate to your baby before you try this sweet potato poha.
