00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Nutritious powder recipes for 6 to 24 months old children. |
00:09 | In this tutorial, we will learn various recipes of nutritious powders such as- |
00:15 | 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 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, it should be added in baby’s’ food for 3 or 4 consecutive days. |
01:00 | 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 and |
01:10 | 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 a child, then start with the small portion such as 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 two 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 the recipes in this tutorial have been made using the following methods |
02:00 | soaking, |
02:01 | 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 |
02:16 | and boiling |
02:17 | All these methods will reduce phytates and oxalates in the food which prevents absorption of minerals from the food and will improve nutrient absorption from the food |
02:30 | Now let’s begin with our first recipe- Amylase powder. |
02:35 | 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 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. |
03:09 | Ingredients required for making amylase powder are- |
03:13 | half cup of wheat, |
03:15 | half cup of green gram |
03:17 | and half 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. |
03:50 | Note that some items will take longer time and some will take 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 of the ingredients. |
04:31 | Now, make a powder of this mixture using the grinder. |
04:36 | 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 |
04:50 | Thick dals |
04:51 | Vegetable puree |
04:53 | and Khichdi |
04:55 | Otherwise, one can also make a porridge of amylase powder. |
05:00 | 1 teaspoon of amylase powder gives around 18 calories and 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. |
05:21 | 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. |
05:32 | This powder is rich in Zinc, Fibre, 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 3 different seeds required to make this powder are- |
05:54 | half cup of black sesame seeds, |
05:57 | half cup of flax seeds and |
06:00 | half 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 the roasted items. |
06:15 | 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 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, Magnesium, Iron, etc. |
06:41 | These minerals play major role in production of red blood cells. |

06:53 | The ingredients required for making a powder of nuts and seeds are- |
06:58 | half cup of peanut, |
07:00 | half cup of dried shredded coconut, |
07:03 | half cup of flax seeds |
07:05 | and half 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. |
07:27 | 1 teaspoon of this powder can be added in the baby’s food before cooking. |
07:32 | It provides around 28 calories and 0.9 grams of protein. |
07:39 | Now, we will learn the recipe for powder of beans. |
07:43 | This powder is rich in Potassium, Protein, Folate, Magnesium etc. |
07:49 | These nutrients help in bone development and improve the strength of the baby. |
07:55 | 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 | half cup of green gram, |
08:05 | half cup of dried green Peas, |
08:07 | half cup of chickpeas |
08:09 | and half 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. |
08:21 | After 10 hours remove all the items. |
08:24 | 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. |
08:35 | This entire process is called as 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 teaspoon of this powder provide around 33 calories and 1.8 grams of protein. |
09:29 | Next, we will learn the recipe for powder of curry leaves. |

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, Iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Protein and Sulphur. |
10:24 | These nutrients are required for the development of gums and for the healthy eyes of the baby. |
