Energy Drink for infants

Here is another recipe just for the infant babies...My daughter has always been underweight since her birth as she is very fussy about food. My doctor suggested this energy drink which is very healthy and highly nutricious for infants. And the best part is my baby just loved it. I started this for her when she was barely 6 months old. Every morning I gave her a healthy start with this energy drink. I continued giving this for almost a year. But now also when she is not keeping well and has loss of apetite, it comes for my rescue. She still loves this energy drink and I am sure your baby will also love it.
My little princess enjoys this drink, sitting in her little rocker in our balcony :).

In the fourth month, I had started with rice and dal mix (prepared in the same way) and then sixth month onwards I added this health drink to her diet. My suggestion would be that instead of giving your baby cerelac or farex or nestum, this home made energy drink would be the best substitute.

Ingriedients:
Rice - 2 cups
Yellow moong dal - 2 cups
Daliya - 2 cups
Soya dal - 1 cup
Ragi - 1 cup
Urad dal - 1 tablespoon
Tur dal - 2 tablespoon
Cashews
Pista
Almonds

Procedure:
Preparing the Energy drink powder mix:
1. Wash all the ingriedients except Daliya and dry fruits
2. Drain the water completely. You can also tie it to a muslin cloth so that entire water is drained.
3. Keep it for drying for a day or two in hot sun till it is completely dry. Make sure there is no moisture , otherwise the powder mix will attract fungus.
4. Once completely dried, dry roast it in a kadhai one by one. Do not mix everything as every item needs different levels of heating. Dry roast also the daliya and the dry fruits.
5. Once all the items are roasted, grind them one by one in the mixer to powder form.
6. Once all the ingriedients are powdered, mix them well and store it in a airtight container.

Preparing the Instant energy drink:
1. Take 3 teaspoon of the energy powder mix and mix it with 2 cups of water.
2. Add pinch of salt.
3. Boil this for around 10 minutes and keep stirring continuously.

The instant mix for your little one is ready.

Tips:
1. Adjust the consistency of the drink by adding water as per your baby's likes.
2. You can also add some other dals as per your choice.
3. Rice dal mix can be also prepared in the same way. Instead of all these ingriedients, use only rice (2 cups) and yellow moong dal (1.5 cups). You can try giving this from four months onwards.
4. Try adding one dry fruit at at time as some babies are allergic to dry fruits. Try with almonds first and then you can add also cashewnuts and other dry fruits.
