- 1 tsp jeera
- 1/4 tsp hing
Instructions
- Measure rice and dal. Take rice first, rinse it well at least 2-3 times then drain water.
- Transfer to a pan and start roasting. In few mins you can see it moisture free and start drying up.
- Keep roasting in low flame until it looks puffy and white. You can see the close look of the rice when its done. Switch off at this stage.

- Grind to a slightly coarse mixture. Sieve using a medium holed siever. Cool down and then store in airtight container.
- Rice Dal Khichdi keeps well at least for 2-3 months.
Notes
- After washing the rice, you can even sundry it but I prefer roasting it as such.If you are sun drying it then make sure to keep it covered to avoid dust and insects.
- Don’t let it brown, just roast in low flame.
- I used normal cooking rice we use, you can try with any other rice variety too.
- But always consult your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
- I powdered it in small mixer jar and it was nicely powdered more like our rice flour.I kept grinding it again and again to get that texture.
- If your cereal is little coarse then you need to cook for more time.
- You can store this in a clean jar for up to 3 months. It comes handy during travel.
