pumpkin peas porridge (for babies)

For all the moms and dads out there. When you have a kid you are searching for all different food to give her and make it as delicious and as varied as possible. 

We at vegcookhouse have done lots of research around  babyfood esp for 6m+ kids as the first weaning food.

Not forgoing the traditional food given to babies and adding some zen we came up with tasty food which allows the babies to enjoy it and try all flavors, vegetables and fruits.

So we are coming up with babyfood series which will be posted once a week atleast . My baby is having these foods so this is safe and consulted with doctor . 

Ingredients:

pumpkin- 4-5 pieces

fresh green peas- half handful around 15 peas

ghee- 1/4 tspn

salt - a pinch ( can be ignored if youve decided not to give salt until 1 year)

rice powder - 1 tbspn

moong dal powder - 1/2 tbspn

water - 3/4 cup for rice

Procedure:

clean the pumpkin and peel it off.

remove the seeds and inner flesh and cut into pieces.

boil pumpkin pieces and green peas.

If fresh peas arent available its okay to use frozen peas.

in another bowl add water and once it boils add rice and moong dal powder.

let it cook in low flame, its okay if there is more water as it should be soft and little runny.

once vegetables are cooked . mash them with fork. for peas make sure the skin is removed/mashed .

mix the vegetables and rice add ghee and salt and mash well.

If the baby has teeth you can feed him this directly, or u can use any food processor and mash into fine paste and feed him.
