Baby Food -Ragi Malt, Ragi cherry

Baby food -Ragi Cherry
My kulla is seven months old, and  I made Ragi Cherry @ home. Now I really don't know why its called Cherry. This particular Baby food recipe is passed on to me from my grand mom . In the shop a 475 g Cerelac Ragi costs close to 190 Rs. But @ home, we can prepare it at a fraction of cost.


Ingredients:
  1. Ragi -1kg
  2. Wheat -100gms
  3. Green Gram-100gms
  4. Almond-50gms
  5. Sabudana-50gms
Method
  1. Soak wheat, ragi, green gram in a large vessel overnight
  2. Wash 2 to 3 times all the ingredients until you are  sure that its clean.
  3. Transfer them to a large sieve to remove excess water after washing.
  4. Tie ragi, wheat, green gram in a thin cotton cloth. eg:dupatta
  5. The sprouts starts to appear after about a day.
  6. Make sure to open the cloth and see it at least once a day, so that no  fungus develops.
  7. Keep it for another day so that you see  a few centimeter long sprouts.
  8. Now dry the sprouted ingredients in shade, that is  inside the room for a day or until you are sure that there is no wetness.
  9. Now roast, almonds, and sabudana .
  10. Grind everything into a fine powder .
  11. At the end of the exercise you should be getting almost white fine powder.
