00:00	Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Nutritious powder recipes for 6 to 24 months old children
00:08	In this tutorial we will learn various recipes of nutritious powders such as-
00:15	Amylase powder
00:17	Powder of seeds
00:18	Powder of nuts and seeds
00:20	Powder of beans
00:22	Powder of curry leaves
00:24	Powder of drumstick leaves
00:27	There are various nutritious powders which can be made at home without much effort.
00:33	Let’s learn how to make these nutritious powders.
00:38	These powders have nutrients which support the growth and development of infants.
00:44	It is recommended that, these powders should be given to the baby when she completes 6 months of age.
00:52	Whenever a new food is introduced to a child- It should be given for 3 or 4 consecutive days.
01:00	After 3 or 4 days, introduce a new food to the child.
01:05	These two foods can be mixed- but both foods should have been tried individually and the child should not have had any allergies like rashes or swelling on the face and the body.
01:20	Whenever a new food containing allergens such as nuts is introduced to a child, then- start with the small portion such as tip of a teaspoon,
01:30	wait for 10 minutes and then gradually feed it to the child.
01:35	Please, do not add- sugar, salt or any kind of spices in the baby’s food till she is one year of age.
01:44	Now let’s begin with our first recipe- Amylase powder.
01:49	But first let us discuss the benefits of it-
01:53	Amylase is an enzyme or chemical required for the digestion of food.
01:59	It is produced in limited amount in the baby’s body.
02:03	This powder provides additional amylase and increases nutrient content and absorption from the food
02:12	Thus, amylase rich flour or amylase powder should be given to a baby.
02:18	Let’s learn the recipe for amylase powder.
02:22	Ingredients required for making amylase powder are- half cup of wheat
02:27	Half cup of green gram and
02:29	Half cup of ragi
02:32	Procedure: First soak all the items separately in water for around 10 hours.
02:39	Soaking will improve the moisture content of ingredients.
02:42	After 10 hours remove all the items.
02:46	Keep them in a strainer and let all the water drain out.
02:50	Then, one by one tie all the ingredients in a clean and dry cotton cloth.
02:55	Keep them aside till they sprouts.
02:58	This process is called Germination.
03:01	Note that- Some items will take longer time and some will take shorter period of time for germination.
03:08	Here, Ragi will take longer time than other ingredients.
03:14	After germination dry them in the sunlight for a day or two.
03:19	After drying, roast all the items on a low flame till they completely dry off.
03:25	Remember , During roasting, continuous stirring is required.
03:30	Next, separate the outer cover of all items by rubbing between clean hands.

11:26	Soaking, Roasting and
11:28	Germination
11:30	All these methods- will reduce the Phytic acid that prevents absorption of minerals from the food.
11:38	and will improve the nutrient absorption from the food.
11:42	This brings us to the end of this tutorial on- Nutritious powder recipes for 6 to 24 months old children.
