I used store bought rice cereal for my son, but he didn’t like the taste.
I was very frustrated and wanted to somehow make him eat, so tried this Homemade Rice Cereal Powder recipe and he loved the taste and till now he has it as his breakfast occasionally. How to select the rice?
Organic Brown rice is recommended but white rice can also be used.
I have used organic brown rice for this recipe.

Hi, interesting video, thanx for sharing. But I would like to know when we roast the rice, for how long and how we know it is ready to turn off the stove, is it ok if the rice is not fully roasted? how do we ensure is not over roasted till burnt
Hi Diana,
Yes we need to roast the rice. And you have to roast the rice, it becomes partially puffy. You have to constantly stir the rice so that it doesn’t get burned by roasting or by keeping it in one place.
