Masoor Dal Water (Baby and Toddler Recipe)

This is a nourishing food and an ideal one to start with as its. The water has been strained as babies cannot digest whole cereals and pulse before the age of 6 months. It is best to give it unstrained after your little one is 6 months old. To make it tastier, you can add a tadka of ghee, jeera and turmeric powder a couple of weeks after you start this.

2 tbsp red masoor dal (split red lentil)


Method
    Pressure cook the dal in 1/2 cup of water for 2 whistles.
    Add an additional 1/2 cup of water to the cooked dal and liquidise it in a blender.
    Strain the cooked dal and serve lukewarm.


Quick Tip
    You can make even thinner consistency than given above by adding more sterilized water to the dal.
