A. Introducing khichdi to a 10-month-old baby can be a nutritious and easy-to-digest meal. Here's how you can prepare and serve khichdi for your baby: **Ingredients:** - 1/4 cup rice - 1/4 cup split yellow moong dal (lentils) - A small piece of carrot, peas, or any other vegetable (optional) - A pinch of turmeric (optional) - A pinch of cumin powder (optional) **Instructions:** 1. Wash the rice and lentils thoroughly. 2. If you're using vegetables, peel and chop them into small pieces. 3. In a pressure cooker or saucepan, add the washed rice and lentils, along with the vegetables (if using). 4. Add water in a 1:4 ratio of rice and lentils. For example, if you used 1/4 cup of rice and 1/4 cup of lentils, add 1 cup of water. 5. Add a pinch of turmeric and cumin powder for flavor (optional). 6. Pressure cook or simmer the mixture until the rice and lentils become soft and mushy. If using a saucepan, add more water as needed and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. 7. Once cooked, let it cool to a safe temperature. 8. Mash the khichdi to the desired consistency for your baby. You can make it smooth or slightly lumpy based on your baby's preference. **Serving:** - Serve the khichdi to your baby in a small, baby-safe bowl or plate. - Ensure the khichdi is at a comfortable temperature, not too hot. - You can add a small amount of ghee for added flavor and nutrition. - Feed your baby in small, manageable portions, and observe their response to the new food. Always consult with your pediatrician before introducing new foods to your baby's diet, and watch for any signs of allergies or discomfort. Additionally, maintain a watchful eye while your baby is eating to ensure they are eating safely and not choking on any food particles.
