The best recommended rice is the Organic Brown Rice.But Since I didnât have stock I have used white rice for this recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp of Rice

Method
Sterilize all the utensils either using a Sterilizer
or by placing the utensils in boiling hot water.
1.Take 3 tbsp of rice in a bowl and add water. Soak the rice for 15 to 20 minutes.
Â
2. Wash the rice in running water and add water 3 times that of rice. (3:1)
3. Place the bowl in the flame and cook it.
4. You can cook with or without the lid, be careful while cooking as the water may foam outside.
5. Switch off the flame after the rice is nicely cooked as shown in the below picture.
6. Mash the contents with masher or thick spoon. Mash while it is hot, since it will be difficult to make a paste after it has become cold.

As the baby grows, the mashed rice can also be given. Give the soup a little warm so that the baby can get adapted to its bland taste.
