#FirstFoods ; #MyWeaningStory
* Nivaan started off with Apple puree and loved it to the T.
* Then after a week of apple puree, I introduced carrot puree to him which was also a hit with him.
* After a couple of weeks of carrot puree in the morning and apple in the late noon I introduced to him a homemade khichdi cereal. He progressed with this khichdi well :)
*Now he has the khichdi base cereal with carrot and beetroot. Very soon I plan to add beans to his khichdi as well.
* He has also progressed to Apple suji kheer for his late afternoon.
* His tastebuds also accept mashed chickoo/sapota puree.
Receipes:
Base khichdi receipe
4 cups rice washed and soaked on a cloth overnight.
1 cup moongdal washed and soaked on a cloth overnight.
5-6 jeera (aids digestion)
Take all the ingredients and pan roast them till the rice becomes fluffy and non sticky to the pan.
Once this cools down, grind the mixture to a very fine powder texture and store it in an airtight container.
Preparation:
Take a scoop of this khichdi base and add 7-8 scoops of water and pressure cook with desired vegetables and finely mash.
I first mash with a potato masher and next use a tea strainer to make a very smooth puree like texture for Nivaan.

For Apple Suji Kheer.<br>
I use a scoop of Suji/Chiroti Rava and pan roast it till it turns slight brown. To this I add 8-9 scoops of water and boil the suji till it gets cooked well and you can see the suji bloat up in size. To this I add a pinch of finely grained cardomom powder to enhance the flavor a bit. <br>
Using this base kheer I add pureed apple for my son's late afternoon meal . Slowly I plan to replace apple puree with mashed banana puree to give his palate a good range of options. Please remember to give at least 20ml of water(boiled and cooled) to your baby post a solid feed with cereals (rice,suji,wheat,ragi etc) to ease constipation
