How to make porridge with this power pls explain
Hi Gowri, for making porridge take 2 tbsp of sathumaavu powder and mix with a cup of water and start cooking on low flame until raw smell leaves. For babies above 1 yr, instead of water add milk and cook the porridge. Finally you can add salt or naatu chakkarai according to your babies preference and serve the baby warm. You may also add few drops of ghee after cooking.
