This is the powder which i was talking about here. Now i have this handy and never go back to store bought ones. This powder is great when you are starting your baby to solid foods. Homemade powder is good and preservatives free, so you know what you are feeding your baby. 

Ragi
is very healthy for babies, it is filling and help your baby gain
weight in a healthy way. 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 little thicker and feed your baby using a spoon.

2) I use panakarkandu or
karupatti as sweetner. This is how i do. I take a small piece of
karupatti or a piece of panakarkandu in a saucepan, add some water in it
and heat it up till it is melted. Then i strain that and add ragi powder in it, strain again and cook them together. 

WHY SO CONFUSION CHECK OUT THIS POST..

Karupatti
strengthens your baby bones. Panakarkandu helps prevending 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)Cook ragi properly. If you didn’t cook it properly, it may cause constipation.  

5)Many
people say ragi may cause constipation. But i am feeding the to my baby
for 3 weeks now. And she is passing stool daily.  

COMMON QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:

1)Why are you sprouting ragi?
 Ragi with skins are little hard for digestion. So sprouting the ragi      will make it easier to digest. And also sprouted grains are more healthy and nutritious for your baby.

2)Is roasting the ragi necessary?
Roasting ragi ensures that it dries off the last bit of moisture from ragi and ensure for a longer shelf life of the ragi. Mean while, you have to roast the ragi on a very low flame and for a minimum time.

3)Is it necessary to store ragi in fridge?
I recommend you to store ragi in fridge. Because i am scary cat of handling homemade stuff. I always have concern that homemade stuff should be always be handled carefully because it can get spoiled so easily. So i always keep homemade powder, masala, pickles, jams in fridge to make sure it is always fresh.

4)My ragi is not sprouting even after a day?
Ragi don’t sprout so big, you can only see small sprouts in it. And you have to keep the ragi undisturbed in a dark and cool place to make it sprout. You should not peek into it often.

5)Can we grind ragi at normal blender at home?
Grinding ragi at normal domestic blender can take lots of time. It makes the blender gets over heated. So if you want to grind ragi at home, then grind it in small batches. Leave sometime if the machine gets over heated. After you make it into fine powder,sieve it through a fine sieve and allow it to cool down. Once the powder has cooled store it in a air tight container.

How to introduce solid food to your baby:

Read this

How to sterilize baby feeding bowls:



Start
by sterilizing the bowls and spoons which you are going to feed your
baby. Take the bowl and spoon in a large saucepan, cover it with water
and bring them to a boil. Boil it rapidly for 5 mins. Now you can turn
the heat off and leave them stay in the hot water till use.


How to make Sprouted Ragi Powder at Home:

To
make fresh ragi porridge. Start by washing fresh ragi by rubbing with
your hands in lots and lots of water to get rid of dirt and other ucky
stuff. Do this step atleast 4 to 5 times to make sure that your ragi is
absolutely clean.

Now soak them in fresh clean water overnight.

Next morning drain it. Now take a colander and line it with a clean white cheese cloth or muslin cloth. Transfer the ragi in the cloth and tie it up. 

Now place in a cold and dark place and leave it undisturbed for 12 to 15 hours. I leave it for a whole day.

Next day morning, you can see small sprouts coming out from ragi. Now spread the ragi in a clean cloth or plate and dry it under fan or sunlight for 5 to 6 hours till it is completely dry.

Now heat a large kadai. Add the dried ragi in it and roast on a very low flame till it is lightly toasted.

Remove it to another big plate and allow it to cool down.

Now give this to mill and powder it finely. If you have a powerful blender you can powder it at home, do it in small batches. It will take long time to powder the ragi. After you powder it pass it through a fine sieve. Allow it to cool down and store in a air tight container.

You can store the ragi powder in cupboard. But for safety purpose i store it in fridge. 

For making porridge out of this powder, Check this post.
MAHA TIME 🙂
 





Pictorial:


Take your ragi
Pour water in them
Use your hands to rub
so the dirt will come on top
Drain off the water, repeat this for 4 to 5 times
Cover the ragi with fresh clean water
Cover the bowl and soak it overnight
This is how it looks the next morning, drain it
See the difference
Now to sprout the ragi, take a colander
Line it with clean white cloth, like a cheese cloth
Pour the drained ragi in it
tie it up and leave it undisturbed for 12 to 15 hours
See the tiny sprouts..Now spread the ragi on
a big plate and dry it sun or under fan overnight..
Next day, heat a large kadai
The heat should be very low
Add the dried ragi in the kadai
Roast on a very low flame
Till it is toasted
Allow it to cool down
Give it to mill and powder it or if you have
powerful blender powder it,It will take long
time to powder
this at home, so i gave it to mill and powdered it.

    Aarthi,

    Very nice tips for new moms…Sprouted ragi a good option for babies..

    Ragi wont cause constipation but it may cause loose motion bcoz of the high fiber in ragi which cleans our stomach.

    Why people in all parts of India starting with ragi you know?
    you said it is healthy …yes..bco it has high amount of Iorn in it.

    Baby's body has iron,but that is not sufficient after 6 months,breast milk(anymilk)doesn't have iron,so we are starting with high iorn food.Also Karupatti,Jaggery & panam kalkalndu also have high amount of iron.

    Ragi's fiber cleans baby's stomach & make the baby heathy. Constipation makes unhealthy.

    And btw thanks for posting my previous comment in the post "when to start solid food"

    After that only I check there are lot of mistakes in typing..

    @chitraI dont recommend adding cows milk to ragi, since your baby is 7 month. You can add cows milk when your baby is above 10 months. Give ragi in the afternoon.

I live in Pune and its very difficult to get pannakalkandu or karripatti. As an alternative can I use normal kalkandu for ragi porridge? My baby completed 4 months and I am planning to start with ragi in a very diluted way as my milk supply is less. Please suggest.

    Hi
    Last time I made this recipe, I used 2 kilos of ragi with 200gms of all dals and 100gms of dryfruits..
    i washed , roasted and powdered them at the mil.. And I had around 5 kilos of powder.I was scared it would spoil so gave most of it to neighbours. What do you suggest is the shelf life ? The above quantity lasts for atleast 6mths . Is that okay? Should I also roast the powder after its powdered in the mill? I am just so confused !!!

    @Nidait is not a issue..Cook it completely. If it is not cooked enough means it may cause this

      It is because it has been soaked too much. No issues with that. Just rinse it really really well and use

    Hai Arathi. First of all thank you so much for this wonderful page you wrote. I followed the same steps as you told. But finally after sieving the grounded ragi powder, what I get z white powder along with some red powder mixed in.I think it's that of skin of ragi. Is it alright to give it to my 7 month old daughter? My MIL told it will cause digestive troubles. I'm worried. Your insight on this would be highly appreciable

      it is because the ragi is not ground properly. u can give it to mill and grind. if not it may cause constipation and indigestion in baby

    Hi Aarthi,

    Thanks for taking out time and writing this blog with all the step by step images. Ragi really has many health benefits hence it is good for both kids and adults. Even Breastfeeding mom can have ragi. It helps to boost their milk production to meet their baby’s requirement. Working moms generally do not have time to prepare hence they can also buy the same. Here is the link for working moms to buy the Sprouted ragi porridge mix http://www.bygrandma.in/product/ragi-stage-1/
