Madam ,
It’s Rolled type oats ?
Which one is better ?
I used quick cooking oats but you can use rolled oats too
After roast making powder and storing . When to serve babies is it read to cook it or it can be given directly mixing in milk or water
Thanks for this recipe. May I know what sweetener do you use? My baby fancies colourful and sweet food (prefers carrots, apples etc to Plain Rice Congee 😀 )
I used panangkarupatti powder
