mixed grains khichadi,,
i started herr with wheat,so i give her mixed grains khichadi,,1 tsp of each --barley,millet,rice,cracked wheat in the cooker,with some vegies,some salt, some ghee, some cardamom, some corainder,,and whistle upto 4-5 times,,and i give that..she loves that ! this is nothing but homemade cereal with vegies !
tofu stir fry,,,roasted tofu with some tiny overcooked tiny pieces of vegetables and add some parsley or coriander, and salt as desired..tofu pieces smaller the better...use extra firm tofu so that pieces dont become musshy while cooking...
other i give is halwa - sooji halwa,,,roast and cook fine sooji in water, when cooked, add mashed sweet potato or banana,,add some ghee and some cardamom,,,
pastas,,,overcooke macroni pastas, or ne pastas that are small in pieces, cook them in vegetable broth or stock, and add the vegies like cooked or diced, carrots,peas, potatoes, and some tofu too..
stuffed roti,, make thinnest roti you can make,,fluffier the better and softer,,put all mashed vegies inside,,roll as tight as you can, and cut them to bite size pieces,,and give..
likewise you can do it with dosa too.
idle & vegies,,,cut idlis in small pieces, add vegies like cucumber,zuchini,,and add some dal,, some corainder,,smells great,,,nirja njoys this alot..plain idli sticks to her throat,,this works for her...so i give it..
i give these in rotation, she loves them,,,also, fruit khichadi ( rice + dal+ fruits, instead of vegies ),appricot & rice ( rice cooked with appricots(remove skin) and mush with fork ),and all our food,without spices, i give her,,she njoys them..
have some ques about yogurt,,how much serving to give per day ?? is homemade fresh curd oky to give ?
also, i have to start formula to her,,she spits out similac,,so trying enfimil,,but giving the ready made liquid...
ne suggestions for pwder formula,,how to make, do i make in advance and how long it can be stored...
please advice.
