DALIYA PANEER KHICHDI for Babies & Kids

When I started to learn cooking after my marriage I was surprised to know that someone would crave or yearn to have a khichdi. The reason being my husband liking it so much that he would drive till Krishnagiri to just have this Khichdi or Khara Pongal. I was further amused by the varieties this simple Indian food can offer, can be easily made using any form of grain, millets, cereals or lentils. No wonder my blog has many Khichdi recipes to date. And today I share another yummy recipe from my kitchen, which is a protein and calcium-rich super combo – Daliya Paneer Khichdi.

Daliya Paneer Khichdi

Great for breakfast or lunch, khichdi is a traditional Indian food given during ill health to babies, kids, and adults. Make it during cough or cold and serve your child for that instant relief. A dollop of ghee is what makes it double nutritious.

When can you give Daliya Paneer Khichdi to your Baby?

You can give it to your baby as early as 8 months minus salt.

I have used Prestige Pressure Cooker to cook this recipe. Other recipes I would recommend to have a look are Khichdi Collection, Porridge Recipe Collection, Instant Baby Foods for Travel.
