Nutritionist note
Besan adds plant protein, and moringa gives the cheela a gentle green color.
Parent tip
Cook on a lower flame so the inside cooks through before the outside browns.
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.
