Soft Poha for Little Hands

From ten months, once your child is chewing soft lumps confidently.

What you need

  • 1/2 cup thick poha (flattened rice)
  • 1 tsp oil
  • A pinch of turmeric
  • 2 tbsp finely grated carrot
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Salt only after 12 months

How to make it

  1. 1 Rinse the poha in a sieve under running water and leave it to soften for 5 minutes.
  2. 2 Heat the oil, add the turmeric and the grated carrot, and cook for 2 minutes.
  3. 3 Add the softened poha and the water, cover, and steam on a low flame for 3 minutes.
  4. 4 Mash lightly with a fork so there are no dry clumps, and cool before serving.

Swaps

Grated beetroot or finely chopped soft beans instead of carrot.

Keeping it

Serve fresh. Poha dries out quickly once it cools.
