    Wheat porridge for Babies

    Wheat is healthy food for the baby and should be introduced after eight months. When I started wheat for my baby, I have given plain wheat porridge with Apple and checked whether she is allergic to wheat. She doesn't show any symptoms. Later I want to make the wheat porridge more healthy, and I have prepared wheat flour mix powder with wheat flour moong dal and almonds.

    This wheat moong dal almond powder can be stored in an airtight container and stays well for a month. After my baby turned one, I have started adding cow's milk to this porridge. Also, check my Porridge recipe collections for six month plus Babies

    Let's check the recipe.

    Ingredients

    • Wheat flour mix powder - 2 tbsp
    • Powdered jaggery - 1.5 tbsp optional
    • Water - ยผ cup + ยผ cup
    • Cows milk - ยพ cup don't add for babies under one year

    For making wheat flour mix powder

    • Wheat flour - 1 cup
    • Moong dal - ยฝ cup
    • Almonds - ยผ cup

    Instructions

    Preparation

    • Sterilize the bowls and spoons used for feeding your baby in a vessel with hot water for five minutes and keep it immersed in the same vessel until use.
    • Boil cows milk (if using) in a saucepan and keeps it ready.

    Method

    • Firstly, we need to prepare the wheat mix powder to make the porridge. Measure wheat flour, moong dal and almonds in a measuring cup and keep everything ready. Then heat a pan and dry roast the almonds for five minutes in low, medium flame or until it changes its color here and there. Remove roasted almonds from the pan and transfer to a blender. Let it cool down for some time.
    • Then wash the moong dal thoroughly in running water and dry it under the sun for 30 minutes or you can directly start roasting in a pan. Add moong dal in the same pan and dry roast it until it changed to a golden brown. It may take five minutes. Remove the roasted moong dal from the pan and add it to the blender.
    • Once almonds and moong dal are cooled down, grind it together in the blender to a smooth powder. Then sieve it with a sieve and collect the sieved powder in a big plate.
    • Now Dry roast the wheat flour for five minutes in low, medium flame for 5 minutes or until nice aroma comes. Then switch off the flame and add the ground moong dal almond powder to the roasted wheat flour and mix it well. Once done, cool it down and store it in an airtight container.
    • Next step is to make porridge with the wheat mix powder. Take 2 tablespoon of wheat mix powder in a saucepan. Add ยผ cup of water to the powdered jaggery and boil it in a separate vessel until it melts completely. Then filter out the jaggery water using a strainer in the saucepan with wheat flour mix added.
    • Add ยผ cup of water to the wheat flour with jaggery and mix everything slowly with a whisk. Make sure that there are no lumps formed. Cook the wheat flour in medium flame until everything cooked thoroughly. Stir it continuously while cooking otherwise porridge may stick to the vessel. Add milk now to the cooked porridge. (Skip adding milk if you are preparing this porridge for a baby under one year ). Boil the porridge until it becomes thick. Remove from flame once done and cool it down. The porridge becomes thick after cooling down. So switch off the flame accordingly.

    Notesย :

    • Skip cows milk if your baby is under one year old.
    • Check whether your baby is allergic to wheat and stop feeding your baby if you find any symptoms.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
    • I use 24 mantra organic jaggery powder for my baby porridges.
    • Offer this porridge plain when you start. Try to avoid jaggery/ palm sugar/ palm jaggery or any sweetener at least till one year, Add minimal amount than mentioned or prefer sweet tasting fruits/vegetables like apple, banana, carrot, etc. or even dry fruits like raisins or dates.

        Yea you can use chapati atta. But make sure its made of whole wheat without multigrains or maida. You could also use homemade wheat flour made from wheat grains !

      Here you are using badam without removing it's skin. Is it right thing to do. Please give your inputs.
      Personally I would be comfortable using badam by removing it's skin only.
