Hi banusree,

Here is my version of 'kanji' we used to prepare like this for kids. only rice kanji.
Take one tumbler of rice, 2 sp barle, 1 sp cumin seeds.
Just heat a pan, fry all the ingredients for just 2 min.
கைபொறுக்கும் சூடு போறும். மிஷின் கூட வேண்டாம் மிக்ஸியே போறும்.

Make kanji with this. If it is less than 6 months, after putting kanji, keep it for some time as it is and remove the water from the top of kanji and mix with milk and sugar and give it to the baby by pouring it in a feeding bottle.
You can eat the thick kanji. no problem. It will taste great.

Or if thebaby is more than 6 months you can prepare thekanji some what thick and then add milk and sugar. Mix with the kanji and feed by spoon.
I this habit will help you when you change kanji to sadam.
And you are using rice only so no need to afarid.

Hi Banu,

I give 2 types of kanji for my daughter


1.One is with Pulingarisi,Wheat,Ragi, Pottukadalai and Payatham paruppu.
2.Other one is with pulingarisi,Pottukadalai and saabhudhana.

Take equal quantities of all of those(say 1 cup)


Fry everything separately on a pan without oil and powder them separately and mix all of them at the end.You can use a mixie for powdering .

Then while at the time of feeding you can boil them in milk in the stove and feed.

Hi! Ladies,

My daughter is 8 months old and I wanted to know about how to do the Ragi Kanji in USA. We dont get whole ragi here and since dont have flour mill so how to grind the ingredients after dry roasting?

Can I grind it in Mixie as I am not sure if it will grind real powder like.

Highly appreciate your replies.Also I wanted to know the amount/proportion of ingredients as in some replies it was given in Tamil which I cannot read.

Nirupama.

Nirupama,

I use that Ragi flour what we get here.I just fry that in a pan.When i went to india i got Ragi seeds ,fried them and powdered in mixie.

Hope this helps.
