    Hey

    I got this tip fro my neighbour - instead of sprouting, drying and making ragi powder, I soaked ragi overnight - beat it in mixie with a little water and filtered it. The milk did not have any grains/residue. I boiled it and it came out like halwa ... taste was also good. DD loved it.
    It is a little painstaking .... but if u can try. I am thinking of extracting and storing milk for 2-3 days ....still thinking.

    tried red rice y'day. roasted it and powdered in mixie.
    Since it was the first time, I make it into a very thin kanji and fed LO with mashed veggies. It tasted better than ragi to me.

    If she likes it, then I am continuing with ragi kanji and rice kanji (alternate days) with mashed veggies...... for this month.

    Poonam and others, dont use jaggery straight on LO's food, it might contain some dusty muddy things. Always boil jaggery separately with water, strain and store the syrup. Add this to purees :)

    homemade easum?

    how do you prepare it?

    i browsed the posts

    is it 3 cups of rice and 1 cup of moong dal roast them separetly and grind it into fine powder.

    and friends here said they mix it with water or bm:? u mean you dont cook it?

    can you explain clearly and from when i can feed my son?

    here in usa they sell rice/oats and barley cereal...is homemade better?

    my son 1s 5 months and 3 weeks old till now he was on veggie n fruit purees for once a day daily
