− | |- | + | |- |
− | |00: | + | | 00:29 |
− | | | + | | There are various nutritious powders which can be made at home without much effort. |
− | |- | + | |
− | |00: | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 00:36 |
+ | | These powders have nutrients which support the growth and development of infants. | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 00: | + | | 00:42 |
− | | | + | | It is recommended that: |
− | + | |- | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | |- | + | |
| 00:44 | | 00:44 | ||
− | | | + | | These powders should be given to the baby when she completes 6 months of age. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 00: | + | | 00:51 |
− | | | + | | Whenever any powder is introduced to a baby- |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 00:54 |
− | | | + | | It should be added in baby’s food for 3 or 4 consecutive days. |
− | |- | + | |- |
+ | | 00:59 | ||
+ | | After 3 or 4 days, introduce a new powder to the baby. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
| 01:05 | | 01:05 | ||
− | | | + | | These two powders can be mixed but both powders should have been tried individually |
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 01:10 | ||
+ | | and the baby should not have had any allergies like rashes or swelling on the face and the body. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 01:19 | ||
+ | | Whenever any powder containing allergens such as nuts is introduced to the child, then- | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 01:26 | ||
+ | | start with the small portion such as the tip of a teaspoon | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 01:31 | ||
+ | | wait for 10 minutes and then gradually feed it to the child. | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | |01: | + | | 01:36 |
− | | | + | | Please, do not add salt in baby’s food till she turns one. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 01: | + | | 01:41 |
− | | | + | | Also, do not include sugar and jaggery until the baby is 2 years of age. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 01: | + | | 01:47 |
− | | | + | | Now let’s learn how to make these nutritious powders at home. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 01: | + | | 01:52 |
− | | | + | | But before that keep in mind- |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 01: | + | | 01:54 |
− | | | + | | The recipes in this tutorial have been made using the following methods- |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 02:00 |
− | | | + | | Soaking |
− | + | Roasting | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
| 02:03 | | 02:03 | ||
− | | | + | | germination |
− | |- | + | |- |
+ | | 02:05 | ||
+ | | and cooking | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 02:07 | ||
+ | | Cooking may include any one or combination of following methods: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
| 02:12 | | 02:12 | ||
− | | | + | | dry roasting |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 02: | + | | 02:14 |
− | | | + | | steaming |
− | + | and boiling | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 02: | + | | 02:17 |
− | | | + | | All these methods will reduce Phytates and Oxalates in the food which prevents absorption of minerals from the food |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 02: | + | | 02:26 |
− | | | + | | and will improve nutrient absorption from the food. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 02: | + | | 02:30 |
− | | | + | | Now, let’s begin with our first recipe: |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 02: | + | | 02:33 |
− | | | + | | '''Amylase powder''' |
− | + | But first, let us discuss the benefits of it- | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 02: | + | | 02:39 |
− | | | + | | '''Amylase''' is an enzyme or chemical required for the digestion of food. |
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 02:45 | ||
+ | | It is produced in a limited amount in the baby’s body. | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
| 02:50 | | 02:50 | ||
− | | | + | | This powder provides additional '''amylase''' and |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 02: | + | | 02:53 |
− | | | + | | increases nutrient content and absorption from the food in which it is added. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 02: | + | | 02:59 |
− | | | + | | Thus, '''amylase''' rich flour or '''amylase''' powder should be given to the baby. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:05 |
− | | | + | | Let's learn the recipe for Amylase powder. |
− | |- | + | |- |
| 03:08 | | 03:08 | ||
− | | | + | | Ingredients required for making '''Amylase''' powder are- |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:13 |
− | | | + | | ½ cup of Wheat |
− | |- | + | |- |
+ | | 03:15 | ||
+ | | ½ cup of Green Gram and | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 03:17 | ||
+ | | ½ cup of Ragi | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
| 03:19 | | 03:19 | ||
− | | | + | | Procedure: |
+ | |||
+ | First, soak all the items separately in water for around 10 hours. | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
| 03:25 | | 03:25 | ||
− | | | + | | Soaking will improve the moisture content of ingredients. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:29 |
− | | | + | | After 10 hours remove all the items. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:33 |
− | | | + | | Keep them in a strainer and let all the water drain out. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:38 |
− | | | + | | Then, one by one tie all the ingredients in a clean and dry cotton cloth. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:43 |
− | | | + | | Keep them aside till they sprout. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:46 |
− | | | + | | This process is called Germination. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:49 |
− | | | + | | Note that- |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:51 |
− | | | + | | Some items will take longer time and |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 03:53 |
− | | | + | | Some will take a shorter period of time for germination. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 03:57 |
− | | | + | | Here, Ragi will take longer time than other ingredients. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 04: | + | | 04:02 |
− | | | + | | After germination dry them in the sunlight for a day or two. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 04: | + | | 04:07 |
− | | | + | | After drying, roast all the items on a low flame till they completely dry off. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 04: | + | | 04:14 |
− | | | + | | Remember: |
− | + | During roasting, continuous stirring is required. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 04: | + | | 04:20 |
− | | | + | | Next, separate the outer cover of all items by rubbing between clean hands. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 04: | + | | 04:26 |
− | | | + | | After removing the outer cover, mix all the ingredients. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 04: | + | | 04:30 |
− | | | + | | Now make a powder of this mixture using the grinder. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 04: | + | | 04:35 |
− | | | + | | And the '''Amylase''' powder is ready. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 04:39 |
− | | | + | | Store this '''Amylase''' powder in an airtight container. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 04:43 |
− | | | + | | One can add 1 teaspoon of '''Amylase''' powder in various baby food before cooking such as- |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 04:49 |
− | | | + | | thick dals |
− | |- | + | |- |
+ | | 04:51 | ||
+ | | vegetable puree | ||
+ | |||
+ | and khichdi | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 04:54 | ||
+ | | Otherwise, one can also make a porridge of '''Amylase''' powder. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 04:59 | ||
+ | | 1 teaspoon of '''Amylase''' powder gives | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 05:02 | ||
+ | | around 18 calories and | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 05:04 | ||
+ | | 0.6 grams of protein | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 05:07 | ||
+ | | '''Amylase''' powder has some unique properties which makes it special for a baby. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 05:13 | ||
+ | | It decreases the thickness of the food. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
| 05:16 | | 05:16 | ||
− | | | + | | Hence, more '''amylase''' powder can be added in baby's food. |
− | |- | + | |- |
| 05:20 | | 05:20 | ||
− | | | + | | As it reduces the bulk of the baby's food and makes it nutrient-dense. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 05: | + | | 05:27 |
− | | | + | | Next, we will learn the recipe for powder of seeds. |
− | |- | + | |- |

+ | | '''Magnesium''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | and '''Calcium'''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 05:38 | ||
+ | | These nutrients help in bone development and improve the strength of the baby. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
| 05:43 | | 05:43 | ||
− | | | + | | Also this powder is a source of good fat which supports brain development in children. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 05: | + | | 05:50 |

− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 08:59 |
− | | | + | | It will avoid burning of all ingredients. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 09: | + | | 09:02 |
− | | | + | | After roasting- |
− | |- | + | separate outer cover of all dried beans by rubbing between clean hands. |
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 09:09 | ||
+ | | Now grind all the beans together and make a powder of it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 09:13 | ||
+ | | Keep this powder in an airtight container. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
| 09:16 | | 09:16 | ||
− | | | + | | Two teaspoons of this powder should be added to the baby’s food during cooking. |
− | + | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 09: | + | | 09:21 |
− | | | + | | Two teaspoons of this powder provide |

00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Nutritious powder recipes for 6 to 24 month old children. |
00:08 | In this tutorial we will learn various recipes of nutritious powders such as- |
00:14 | amylase powder |
00:17 | powder of seeds |
00:19 | powder of nuts and seeds |
00:22 | powder of beans |
00:24 | powder of curry leaves |
00:26 | and powder of drumstick leaves |
00:29 | There are various nutritious powders which can be made at home without much effort.
|
00:36 | These powders have nutrients which support the growth and development of infants. |
00:42 | It is recommended that: |
00:44 | These powders should be given to the baby when she completes 6 months of age. |
00:51 | Whenever any powder is introduced to a baby- |
00:54 | It should be added in baby’s food for 3 or 4 consecutive days. |
00:59 | After 3 or 4 days, introduce a new powder to the baby. |
01:05 | These two powders can be mixed but both powders should have been tried individually |
01:10 | and the baby should not have had any allergies like rashes or swelling on the face and the body. |
01:19 | Whenever any powder containing allergens such as nuts is introduced to the child, then-
|
01:26 | start with the small portion such as the tip of a teaspoon |
01:31 | wait for 10 minutes and then gradually feed it to the child. |
01:36 | Please, do not add salt in baby’s food till she turns one. |
01:41 | Also, do not include sugar and jaggery until the baby is 2 years of age. |
01:47 | Now let’s learn how to make these nutritious powders at home. |
01:52 | But before that keep in mind- |
01:54 | The recipes in this tutorial have been made using the following methods- |
02:00 | Soaking
Roasting |
02:03 | germination |
02:05 | and cooking |
02:07 | Cooking may include any one or combination of following methods:
|
02:12 | dry roasting |
02:14 | steaming
and boiling |
02:17 | All these methods will reduce Phytates and Oxalates in the food which prevents absorption of minerals from the food |
02:26 | and will improve nutrient absorption from the food. |
02:30 | Now, let’s begin with our first recipe: |
02:33 | Amylase powder
But first, let us discuss the benefits of it- |
02:39 | Amylase is an enzyme or chemical required for the digestion of food. |
02:45 | It is produced in a limited amount in the baby’s body. |
02:50 | This powder provides additional amylase and |
02:53 | increases nutrient content and absorption from the food in which it is added. |
02:59 | Thus, amylase rich flour or amylase powder should be given to the baby. |
03:05 | Let's learn the recipe for Amylase powder. |
03:08 | Ingredients required for making Amylase powder are- |
03:13 | ½ cup of Wheat |
03:15 | ½ cup of Green Gram and |
03:17 | ½ cup of Ragi |
03:19 | Procedure:
First, soak all the items separately in water for around 10 hours. |
03:25 | Soaking will improve the moisture content of ingredients. |
03:29 | After 10 hours remove all the items. |
03:33 | Keep them in a strainer and let all the water drain out. |
03:38 | Then, one by one tie all the ingredients in a clean and dry cotton cloth. |
03:43 | Keep them aside till they sprout. |
03:46 | This process is called Germination. |
03:49 | Note that- |
03:51 | Some items will take longer time and |
03:53 | Some will take a shorter period of time for germination. |
03:57 | Here, Ragi will take longer time than other ingredients. |
04:02 | After germination dry them in the sunlight for a day or two. |
04:07 | After drying, roast all the items on a low flame till they completely dry off. |
04:14 | Remember:
During roasting, continuous stirring is required. |
04:20 | Next, separate the outer cover of all items by rubbing between clean hands. |
04:26 | After removing the outer cover, mix all the ingredients. |
04:30 | Now make a powder of this mixture using the grinder. |
04:35 | And the Amylase powder is ready. |
04:39 | Store this Amylase powder in an airtight container. |
04:43 | One can add 1 teaspoon of Amylase powder in various baby food before cooking such as- |
04:49 | thick dals |
04:51 | vegetable puree
and khichdi |
04:54 | Otherwise, one can also make a porridge of Amylase powder. |
04:59 | 1 teaspoon of Amylase powder gives |
05:02 | around 18 calories and |
05:04 | 0.6 grams of protein |
05:07 | Amylase powder has some unique properties which makes it special for a baby. |
05:13 | It decreases the thickness of the food. |
05:16 | Hence, more amylase powder can be added in baby's food. |
05:20 | As it reduces the bulk of the baby's food and makes it nutrient-dense. |
05:27 | Next, we will learn the recipe for powder of seeds. |
05:31 | This powder is rich in Zinc,
fibre, |
05:35 | Magnesium
and Calcium. |
05:38 | These nutrients help in bone development and improve the strength of the baby. |
05:43 | Also this powder is a source of good fat which supports brain development in children. |
05:50 | The three different seeds required to make this powder are- |
05:54 | ½ cup of black Sesame seeds, |
05:57 | ½ cup of Flax seeds and |
05:59 | ½ cup of raw Pumpkin seeds |
06:02 | Procedure:
One by one dry roast all the seeds on a low flame for around 4 to 5 minutes. |
06:10 | Once cooled, make a powder of all roasted items. |
06:14 | Keep this powder in an airtight jar. |
06:18 | One teaspoon of this powder should be added to the baby’s food just before cooking. |
06:23 | It will provide-
around 30 calories and |
06:26 | 2.7 grams of protein. |
06:30 | Our next recipe is powder of nuts and seeds. |
06:34 | This powder is rich in minerals such as Zinc, |
06:37 | Magnesium, |
06:39 | Iron, etc. |
06:41 | These minerals play a major role in production of red blood cells. |
06:46 | Also, this powder is a source of good fat which supports brain development in children. |
06:53 | The ingredients required for making a powder of nuts and seeds are- |
06:58 | ½ cup of peanut |
07:00 | ½ cup of dried shredded coconut. |
07:02 | ½ cup of flax seeds and |
07:05 | ½ cup of black sesame seeds |
07:08 | Procedure:
One by one dry roast all the seeds and nuts on a medium flame for around 4 to 6 minutes. |
07:16 | Then, make a powder of all the roasted seeds by using a stone grinder or a mixer grinder. |
07:23 | Keep this powder in an airtight container. |
07:26 | 1 teaspoon of this powder can be added in the baby’s food before cooking. |
07:32 | It provides-
around 28 calories and |
07:35 | 0.9 grams of protein |
07:38 | Now we will learn the recipe for powder of Beans. |
07:42 | This powder is rich in 'Potassium, |
07:45 | Protein,
Folate, |
07:47 | Magnesium, etc. |
07:49 | These nutrients help in bone development and improve the strength of the baby. |
07:54 | They are also required for the production of red blood cells in our body. |
07:59 | Ingredients required for making powder of Beans are: |
08:02 | ½ cup of Green Gram, |
08:05 | ½ cup dried Green Peas, |
08:07 | ½ cup of Chickpeas and |
08:09 | ½ cup of Moth beans |
08:11 | Procedure:
First soak all the items in water separately for 10 hours. |
08:17 | Soaking will improve the moisture content of ingredients. |
08:20 | After 10 hours remove all the items. |
08:23 | Keep them in a sieve and let all the water drain out. |
08:27 | Then, one by one tie all the beans in a clean and dry cotton cloth. |
08:32 | Keep them aside till they sprout. |
08:34 | This entire process is called germination. |
08:38 | Please note: As we discussed earlier, the duration of germination will be different for each ingredient. |
08:45 | After germination dry them in the sunlight for a day or two. |
08:50 | Then, roast all the beans on a medium flame till they completely dry off. |
08:55 | During roasting,
continuous stirring is required. |
08:59 | It will avoid burning of all ingredients. |
09:02 | After roasting-
separate outer cover of all dried beans by rubbing between clean hands. |
09:09 | Now grind all the beans together and make a powder of it. |
09:13 | Keep this powder in an airtight container. |
09:16 | Two teaspoons of this powder should be added to the baby’s food during cooking. |
09:21 | Two teaspoons of this powder provide |

09:34 | Iron,
Calcium |
09:36 | and Vitamin C. |
09:38 | All these nutrients play a vital role in digestion and tooth development. |
09:43 | Also they boost the immunity of the baby. |
09:46 | We will need-
