  • Salt - as needed salt is not recommended for babies under one year of age

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.

Method

  • Pick the leaves alone from the keerai bunch and wash the collected keerai/spinach leaves well in running water. Transfer them to a small pressure cooker along with turmeric powder and garlic. Add ¼ cup of water and close the lid of the pressure cooker. Pressure cook it for three whistles in medium low flame.
  • Open the cooker once the pressure released. Cool it down and transfer the pressure cooked contents to a blender. Blend everything to a smooth paste.
  • Then add ghee and salt to the spinach puree. Mix it well with a spoon. Set this aside.
  • Take mashed rice in a mixing bowl and add 2 to 3 tablespoon of spinach puree to it.  Mix the rice well with your hands and feed your baby warm.
