Suji/Semolina Upma for Babies
Suji/ semolina upma can serve as a healthy and filling breakfast for your little ones. You may add vegetables to it making it all the more wholesome. Here I have added grated carrot to the upma. Cumin acts as a flavorant. While introducing suji upma to your baby, make sure it is of thin consistency. You may give a thicker upma and also add more vegetables to it like green peas etc in the later stage.

- Stir fry the suji with veggies on low to medium flame for 1-2 minutes.
- Now add the boiling water slowly while stirring continuously to ensure no lumps are formed in the upma. Keep stirring the upma until it attains a desired consistency.
