Hi my son donot like the taste of ground nut….can I add almond to the mixer
Yes, you can add almonds.
Hi Ma’am
Do we have to soak the grains in water for sometime after washing them? I have followed your saathu maavu recipe and my baby loves it a lot. Thanks ?
Hi,
No dear, soaking is not necessary. Happy to know that your baby loved sathumaavu 🙂
Is it green or yellow moong dal we should use for ragi kheer?
Hi Shabnam,
It’s yellow moong dhal dear.
I have not introduced groundnuts to my baby yet so can i directly add in this reciepe or should i try it separately if so how?
Dear, best to try separately before.
Ok thank you
Hi hemapriya, can i give this to 5 month old boy… My dr. Suggested me to give ragi,rice water…. For past one week am giving this… Can i start this porridge next week…..
Hi Hema,
Can i use sprouted ragi powder, which am having it already prepared @ home? If used, again i hav to roast n again i hav to powder it? Plz clear my doubt
Hi Jyothi,
Yes you can use it, just dry roast it nicely and add to powdered moong dal
My son is 2.5 yrs old
he doesn’t like sweet.
can I add curd n salt to this recipe??
Will that tastes gud ??
Hi Sai, yes you can add, but don’t know how it may taste though !!
I make ragi kanji for my daughter.. I usually wash it a couple of times, shade dry and then roast it and powder it.. then I cook it like a porridge and fine her.. So is it fine to give your recipe without cooking?
And thanks a lot for all your recipe.. It’s been a savoir a lot of times
You have to roast the Ragi powder till aroma arises and then use in this recipe Maheswari. Good to know my recipes are helpful 🙂
Ragi will have dust right.. So it should be washed and dried and roasted?
Which groundnuts can be mixed??
Roasted groundnut powder Sumiksha can be added
