Cracked wheat, spinach and broccoli -baby food recipe

Another healthy tasty recipe suitable for babies above 8 months old. When your baby graduates to stage 2 level of foods you can introduce lumpy well cooked veggies.

2 tbsp cracked wheat aka bulgur

Handful of well washed spinach leaves 

Few tiny broccoli florets 

2 tbsp chicken stock

Soak the cracked wheat in a little water for around two hours. This will reduce cooking time on flame or you can use a pressure cooker if you do not wish to soak.

Add all of the above ingredients with half glass water and let it simmer for around 20 minutes. 

If you use a pressure cooker just take one whistle and switch off the flame after five minutes. 

Rice with Spinach

In this recipe you can learn how to prepare and store dried rice cereal for future use. You can later cook the ground cereal with any other variations you prefer. Besides, your baby is going to need all those carbs to work out on learning to walk around.

Take half a cup of rice grains. (It can be of any brand basmati or normal rice, fine grain rice would be more preferable)

Just whiz it in your dry grinder mixer nearly 3 or 4 times.

Ensure you do not make it into a powder. Once your baby is above 8 months old you would prefer him/her to learn to chew food, so its better to have smaller grains rather than just powdered rice.

2 tablespoon fine ground rice

Handful of fresh spinach leaves 

3 tablespoon of chicken stock

1-/4 cup water

1/4 of a ripe de-seeded tomato

I use the pressure cooker a lot. It saves time and energy.

Mix all the above ingredients in a pressure cooker, crank up the heat to high, just take a whistle and switch the flame off after 5 minutes.

When the pressure is down from the cooker open the lid and let the food cool down. 

Its ready to serve.
