Hetal replied. hi sweety,thnx for wishes.my xams went pretty well.
abt banana, if its not fully ripe,hard or is raw, i throw in cooker. if fully ripe, sometimes i put in cooker, sometimes i chop and put separately while serving to nirja.,both gives diff taste so for nirja it becomes a new recipe :))
better keep the apricots in fridge,after opening,, its summer and even though we have ac here,its not cold enough to give it a longer shelf life.it will get sticky and they might get spoil.
actually,i keep boiled, smashed/pureed,seived apricots with 1tsp of lemon drops in whole packet(small) and store in airtight jar on topmost shelf of fridge.stays upto 6 days, no hazzles. dont worry if it gets hard abit.
use it in practically nething..i tried lately in mixed flour pancakes batter,she liked it.also goes great with ne rice item,fruits,cereals ( i tried toddler cereal, she liked them ), boiled rolled oats or boiled quinoa/barley/millet, or boiled sprouts.
what matters is if baby has liked the actual taste of it.
apricots dont get along well with any vegetables just like i dont get along well with raagi :))..out of 10 recipes i tried, i could work out only 1 with satisfying results tht my baby ate it.

love to krish,,,
thanks for wishes.
