Author: Kalyani
Recipe type: Baby food
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- Poha/Flattened Rice/Aval - 1 cup
- Sugar - 2 to 3 tsp
- Boiled Milk - 3/4 cup
- Homemade Ghee - 1/2 tsp
- Chopped nuts - 1 tsp (optional)
Procedure :
1. Take the poha/aval in a mixing bowl. Rinse the poha/aval well in running water. Then soak in water for 5 minutes. Once the water is fully absorbed, it will be soft. Drain the excess water by squeezing with your hands if any. Now add ghee, sugar to the poha/aval. Mix well.
2. Now add warm milk and mix everything together. Garnish with chopped nuts if you prefer.
Serve the sweet poha warm.
Notes :
- Make sure you completely squeezed the water before adding milk.
- I used brown poha varierty. You can even use white poha.
- Soaking time depends on the poha/aval variety.
- Adding chopped nuts is purely optional. Avoid for small babies as they lead to choking hazard.
- Replace sugar with honey if you don't prefer to add sugar.
