Nutritionist note
Sprouted ragi is a familiar calcium-rich grain, and a small amount of beetroot powder makes the porridge visually inviting.
Parent tip
Add fruit puree after cooking so the fresh fruit taste stays mild and pleasant.
Parent note: introduce new foods one at a time, adjust texture for your baby’s readiness, and check with your pediatrician for allergies, medical conditions, or feeding concerns.
