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.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Suji /semolina - 2-3 tablespoon
  • Carrot - 1 small grated
  • Onion - 1 small grated optional
  • Ghee - 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin seeds / roasted cumin powder - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Turmeric powder – a pinch

Method
 

  1. Heat ghee in a pan. Keep 1 cup of water to heat in another pan.
  2. Add cumin seeds to the ghee. Once the seeds crackle, add the grated onion, if using. Saute for about a minute.
  3. Next add in grated carrot and stir fry for few seconds.
  4. Add turmeric powder, followed by suji.
  5. Stir fry the suji with veggies on low to medium flame for 1-2 minutes.
  6. 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.
  7. Put off the flame. The upma further thickens on cooling, so adjust the cooking time and amount of water accordingly.
  8. Serve the upma to your baby while it is still warm.
