+ | | 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: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 08:03 | ||
+ | | ½ cup of Green Gram, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 08:05 | ||
+ | | ½ cup dried Green Peas, | ||

+ | | 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 | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 09:23 | ||
+ | | Around 33 calories and | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 09:26 | ||
+ | | 1.8 grams of Protein. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 09:28 | ||
+ | | Next, we will learn the recipe for powder of curry leaves: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 09:32 | ||
+ | | Curry leaves are rich in '''fibre, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 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- | ||
+ | |||
+ | Curry leaves for making this powder. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 09:49 | ||
+ | | Procedure- | ||
+ | |||
+ | Wash curry leaves thoroughly in clean water. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 09:53 | ||
+ | | Let them dry under the shade. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 09:55 | ||
+ | | Then, make a powder of these dried curry leaves and | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 09:58 | ||
+ | | store this powder in an airtight container. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:02 | ||
+ | | ¼ teaspoon of this powder can be added in baby’s food before cooking. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:07 | ||
+ | | It gives around 9 milligrams of '''calcium'''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:10 | ||
+ | | Next let’s learn, how to make the powder of Drumstick leaves- | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:15 | ||
+ | | This powder contains a good amount of '''Calcium''', | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:18 | ||
+ | | '''Iron''', | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Vitamin C, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:20 | ||
+ | | Vitamin A, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Protein''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:22 | ||
+ | | and '''Sulphur'''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:23 | ||
+ | | These nutrients are required for the development of gums | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:27 | ||
+ | | and the healthy eyes of the baby. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:30 | ||
+ | | They fight against infection and improves the strength of the baby. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:35 | ||
+ | | We will require drumstick leaves for making this powder. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:39 | ||
+ | | Procedure- | ||
+ | |||
+ | First wash all the drumstick leaves thoroughly in clean water. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:45 | ||
+ | | Dry these leaves under the shade. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:47 | ||
+ | | Now make a powder of these dried drumstick leaves | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:51 | ||
+ | | and store this powder in an airtight container. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:54 | ||
+ | |.1/4 teaspoon of this powder should be added to the baby’s food before cooking. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 10:59 | ||
+ | |.It will provide around 5 milligrams of '''Calcium'''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 11:03 | ||
+ | | Apart from these always remember the following- | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 11:07 | ||
+ | | Curry leaves powder and drumstick leaves powder should be given with '''Calcium''' rich food such as- | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 11:13 | ||
+ | | roasted Sesame seeds | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 11:15 | ||
+ | |sprouted Chickpeas | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 11:17 | ||
+ | |sprouted Bengal gram, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 11:20 | ||
+ | | Once the baby completes 9 months, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 11:23 | ||
+ | | these powders can be given with curd. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 11:26 | ||
+ | | Also, one can use any local and seasonal nuts, seeds and beans for making these powder recipes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 11:34 | ||
+ | | Don’t forget to add these powders in every meal of your baby. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 11:38 | ||
+ | | And each powder should be added before cooking as the powder needs to be cooked along with the meal. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 11:47 | ||
+ | | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. | ||

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, |

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-
