Hi friends,Today I cooked ragi puttu for my fussy toddler. She looked it as well. I was in search of healthy as well as tasty food for my little one. Making a kid to eat is not a easy job,so many moms were hunting recipes for their fussy toddler like me hence I am sharing this recipe here.
Ragi is rich in iron and calcium. Ragi is a ideal food to wean a baby. Ragi is rich in protein and fiber so it's very filling. Ragi causes constipation for few kids/babies so consult pediatrician before introducing new foods.
Hope you'll love it and give it a try also don't forget to share your experience with me. Feel free to comment.
