Time Narration
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 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 Khichidi
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.
06:46 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 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.
09:32 Curry leaves are rich in fibre, Iron, Calcium 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.
09:50 Procedure- Wash curry leaves thoroughly in clean water.
09:53 Let them dry under the shade.
09:56 Then, make a powder of this dried curry leaves and store this powder in an airtight container.
10:02 One fourth 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, 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.
10:30 They fight against infection and improve 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 this dried drumstick leaves and store this powder in an airtight container.
