You can feed idli, rice, vegetables. Make sure the food is not too bland or too spicy. Introduce the spicy foods in small quantities. When my babies were small, I used to mix the rice with yoghurt and rasam and boiled vegetables. Make sure the rice is cooked softer and mash the cooked rice.
you can mix the idlies with rasam and give it to the baby.
Ragi koozh (mix the ragi flour in the water and cook it till it becomes a paste and then add sugar to it) is also good food for the baby.
You can give sago pudding or uppuma.

Thank you for the valuable response. I like the idea of feeding ragi koozh. Also do you know what "satthu maavvu" is made of?

Hello VV,
I think Satthu Maavu is made up of a bunch of
different kind of dals (lentils). It is a high protein food. The only hassle with giving that to the baby is making sure that the stuff you get in the US (where you presumably live) is not too old etc. Please say hello to your baby for me.

Already, there is a thread talked about sathu maavu. I dont know the URL. It contains grains like ragi(as a major portion),wheat, sago, barley,urad dhal, par boiled rice(that is all I remember) & nuts like peanut, cashew, pista, badham with cardamom.
In NJ, it is not available as a packet just like we get in India. So, I was buying them as a flour, then frying etc...

Hi VV,
I think Andal Balu has covered most of the food that can be given to one year old baby.
You can also start giving fruits, just mash them well and feed. As for apple, i use to steam them and feed when my daughter was that age.
You can even try chappathi, soak it in milk and sprinkle a little sugar(optional)for 2 mins and then feed. A little later when she's able to chew you can try the same with vermicelli. Cook well the plain vermicelli with enough water, till becomes very soft. Take off from fire, add milk and sprinkle litlle sugar for taste and feed.
You can pressure cook the required amount of rice with tuar dhal and chopped veg(2 veg every day) for the baby seperately, so that they well cooked.

Ragi porridge-that is what I was telling you. Lots of info. is given, and infact, I got some ideas from there only.
Later, u can do variations once they start liking the taste. Now my daughter is 14 months old and I give her hummus(boiling and grinding white channa) once in a while, take some veg., and boil with channa dhal with other spices.
Try cabbage, chow-chow, zuchinni, beet, suraikkai, snake gourd etc. with moong dhal(cook any one of them) and give like kootu sadham. My daughter loves this, this is a variation for them too.
Prepare rasam podi with pepper, jeera and curry leaves. Dry fry them and powder them nicely. While u make rasam or boiling any veg., add this too with hing, turmeric and salt so that they will not get any indigestion and they will also get the spicy taste.
While cooking apple, add little raisins too which is rich in vit., and she will start liking it too(can avoid constipation).
Hope this is sufficient. good luck!
