Let’s talk about a quick and easy recipe that’s perfect for your little one: Ghee Rice for Babies. Because, let’s face it, there are days when being a supermom feels impossible. We’re only human, and there are moments when you can’t bring yourself to stand up, let alone cook an entire meal from scratch! On such days, it can be tempting to turn to ready-made options, but we all know why commercial baby food isn’t such a good idea.
Rice is a common baby food, but if you’re wondering about ghee, we’ve got more information below.
Nutritional Benefits of Ghee
- Ghee is immune system booster
- Helps prevent cough and cold
- It helps in development of strong bones and teeth
- A teaspoon daily takes care of a baby’s vitamin requirements
- It is safe for babies with lactose intolerance
Ghee Rice for Babies
Ingredients
- ½ cup cooked rice
- ½ tsp jeera powder
- 1 teaspoon Ghee
Method
1. Cook short grained rice with water in a 1:2 ratio of rice to water. If you have cooked rice on hand, you can skip this step.
2. In a pan, melt the ghee.
3. Turn off the heat. Add the rice and jeera powder and stir well to combine.
4. Serve the ghee rice in a bowl.
If your baby has just started out with solids, you can add a little hot water for a runnier texture.
For older babies, you can add some more texture with finely grated carrots or beetroot. It’ll up the nutrition quotient of the dish, not to mention making it more colorful! But of course, if it’s one of those days, you’d better just stick to the basic recipe and leave the experiments for another day!
