• 1/2 cup Water
• 50 ml Breast Milk Or Formula

Steps

1. To begin making Ragi Porridge/Kanji, make sure to stock up on Ragi powder. Ragi powder is best made at home as it will not contain any preservatives or added sugar as in cases on store bought powders.
2. Here's How to make Ragi Powder at home.
3. In a small pan, add 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons of ragi powder. Stir well to combine before placing it on heat.
4. Once combined, place it on heat and keep stirring the baby ragi porridge continuously until it thickens.
5. Once done, turn off the heat and allow it to cool completely.
6. Add in the breast milk or formula and stir until all combines well.
7. If you add formula to the porridge, make sure to add a little water so that the formula melts into the porridge/kanji. Do not add formula directly to the pan while its cooking.
8. Let the porridge be cooled to room temperature or warm – whichever way your baby prefers.
9. Serve Ragi Porridge/ Kanji to your babies who are over 6 months of age.
