Nachani (finger millet in English) is a dark reddish brown grain (similar to musturd seeds), good for Babies.

Importance : Since Calcium content is more, it is good for strong bones and teeth. Also aids in blood clotting including proper functioning of muscles and nerves.

For Babies : In India, mostly Nachni is given during Summer Season. Nachni kheer or paste, if given daily, increase apepitite and helps in easy motion.

Our daughter, Akshada is 8 months old. Not daily, but alternate days, I give her Nachni Kheer (mostly morning). I have also started other food including vegetable soup and juice. She loves eating, if prepared with different taste.

Preparation : In Morning, Small quantity (1 teaspoon) of Nachni has to be soaked in water. Evening, alongwith same water, soaked nachni has to grinded. Filter it using little cotton cloth so that only white milk is left in bowl. Keep white milk whole night undistured so that white residue collects at bottom. Next morning, thrown the water. White paste which remains, has to be boiled with fresh water till it turns to sticky paste. Add little jaggery or milk or sugar or salt, depends. And then give to Baby. They will really enjoy eating it.

In general also, Nachni is good for health.

Hi Raieev,
Nachani is not soji. It is a jawari kind of grain widely used in south india. It looks like Rai(musturd seeds), but is brown in color. If u r in US u can get it in any indian store by name Ragi Floor.
