Many of my viewers have been asking me to share instant baby food recipes which requires no cook and is great when travelling. So i decided to share the recipe of a instant rice cereal or instant ceralac for baby. My little one was too old to eat cereal so i turned this into small ladoo like balls for her.
This is a instant, No cook cerelac for baby. You can prepare this cereal few different ways.
1)You can add warm water or milk to make this cereal.
2)You can use normal water or milk to make this cereal, in which case the texture will be little coarse.
3)You can add boiling water or milk to make this cereal, in which case the texture will be so smooth.
4)You can add some powdered jaggery or sugar to this, add some ghee and make ladoo.
5)For making soft cooked balls. Take this powder in a sauce pan, add some milk and mix. Add more sugar or jaggery as needed, add little ghee and cook this on low heat till it comes as a ball. Take small portion from this and shape into balls.
Recipe:
Instant Ceralac - 1 cup
Milk - 1 cup
Sugar / Jaggery - 2 to 3 tblspn more
Ghee - 1 tblspn
Take everything in a sauce pan, heat on low heat and cook till it comes together. Take small portion from this and roll into ball.
Cooking Time : 5 mins
Makes : 1.5 cup
Poha / Flattened Rice / Aval - 2 cups ( I used red rice poha)
Panakarkandu or rock sugar - ¼ cup to ½ cup

Take flattened rice in a dry pan, roast on a low heat till it gets golden brown.
Now remove this and cool down, take it in a blender, add panakarkandu or any sweetner and powder the mix to a smooth powder.

shouldnt the poha be washed and dried before roasting?
Aarthi
No you shouldn't wash it

Hi can I use brown or white rice instead of poha?
Aarthi
Rice cannot be used. If you use rice, then it has to be cooked before feeding baby
