    Notes :

    • Don't skip garlic. It gives a nice flavor and taste.
    • I used split white urad dal. You could use split black urad dal too which is more healthy.
    • White sesame seeds can be replaced with black sesame seeds.
    • Any Normal cooking rice can be used to prepare this urad dal rice.
    • If you want this urad dal rice to be mushy, add extra ½ cup of water.
    • Adjust spices according to your preference.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
