My son loves pongal and every other day I used to give to him this pongal recipe that is suitable for Babies.
Pongal is an important festival in my place. Oh How we used to love those days, draw rangolis in front of the house the night before and visit the neighbor’s house in the middle of the night to see their Rangoli. In the mornings, lounge around the house eating sugarcane the whole day while the elders do the preparations for the pongal.
Those days are gone !!!
This pongal recipe can be given from 6 months.

Do you sell ginger powder and curry leave powder home-made in your website ?
Sorry, We don’t have the mentioned products in our website.
Hi. Won’t jeera be difficult for the baby to swallow? My baby is 7 months.
Should I use jeera powder ? And I can introduce curry leaves now ?
Hi,
All the ingredients mentioned in the recipe can be introduced around 6 to 7 months dear. So you can feed pongal to your 7 months baby.

Hi Tenuka, pleased to know that you follow our foodcharts and recipes. You can add a couple of cloves to your baby food but make sure that you remove them before feeding.
My baby has completed 9 months, however she doesnt eat proper solid food. She has only pureed food. I want to introduce idli dosa etc., but she is not able to chew and swallow. She has not teeth as of now.
