@No need to cook this as we have already roasted.
@Always prefer storing this powder in a glass jar rather than a plastic container because homemade powders when stored in a plastic jar gives stinky smell after today's few days as we don't use any preservatives

Tips

_____

@ You may add purees like Apple, Banana, Carrots, Beetroots, Muskmelon etc to this porridge. Healthy and tasty

@ Sterlizing spoon and bowl is also important. just immerse in boiling water for 5mins and use

@ Always make these powders freshly which can last only for 10- 15 days

@ I use just few drops of home made ghee in this which gives taste as this contains almonds.

@ If baby doesn't like this, try to add jaggery syrup. Very healthy
