As soon as I mentioned that I will post a banana powder recipe for babies, I got so many emails asking to post them immediately. But it was difficult to find time to post it, finally, I managed to get banana powder recipe and banana porridge recipe up at the same time.
This powder is so healthy, it helps in healthy weight gaining in your babies. Normally we feed ragi porridge for babies, and I am sure that babies will get bored because of the same food. So in order to make their food interesting and different, you can follow what I normally do.
Few things you have to remember before making this.
1) The consistency of the porridge which you make totally depends on you. You can make it too runnier and pour it bottles and feed your baby or make it a little thicker and feed your baby using a spoon.
2) I use panakarkandu or karupatti as sweetener. Karupatti strengthens your baby bones. Panakarkandu helps to prevent cold for your babies. You can even mix up a small piece of both.
3) If you feed a good bowl of this for your baby. Your baby will sleep peacefully for a good 2 to 3 hours. It is that filling.
4) This won't cause constipation in babies.
How to make Raw Banana Porridge:
Take a clean saucepan, add in 2 tablespoons of karupatti. Now pour in 3/4 cup of clean water. Heat this up and cook until the karupatti is melted.
Now take a clean bowl and add 2 scoops of banana powder. Add some clean water and mix it up till smooth.
Now place a fine-mesh strainer over the bowl and Sieve the karupatti liquid through this. Mix this well.
I washed the saucepan in the meantime. Now pour this liquid again in the saucepan.
Heat this on a low flame stirring continuously. Cook this for around 2 mins till the banana is cooked and thicken.
Take it off the heat, allow it to cool down and transfer it to a feeding bowl or feeding bottle and feed your baby.
