| 00:31
| There are various nutritious powders which can be made at home without much effort.
+
| Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months.
 
+
+
 
|-
 
|-
 
| 00:36
 
| 00:36
| These powders have nutrients which support the growth and development of infants.
+
| After completion of 6 months, breast milk is not enough for the baby.
  
 
|-
 
|-
 
| 00:42
 
| 00:42
| It is recommended that:
+
| Therefore, along with breastfeeding the baby should be fed home cooked food too.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 00:44
+
| 00:48
| These powders should be given to the baby when she completes 6 months of age.  
+
| It is known as complementary feeding.
  
 
|-
 
|-
 
| 00:51
 
| 00:51
| Whenever any powder is introduced to a baby-
+
| While introducing a Complementary food to the baby, start one food at a time.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 00:54
+
| 00:57
| It should be added in baby’s food for 3 or 4 consecutive days.
+
| It will help to find if the baby is allergic to any food.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 00:59
+
| 01:02
| After 3 or 4 days, introduce a new powder to the baby.
+
| Once the baby gets comfortable, start giving the combination of ingredients.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 01:05
+
| 01:09
| These two powders can be mixed but both powders should have been tried individually
+
| Initially, start with one tablespoon twice a day
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 01:10
+
| 01:13
| and the baby should not have had any allergies like rashes or swelling on the face and the body.
+
| then, gradually, go up to 4 tablespoons twice a day.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 01:19
+
| 01:18
| Whenever any powder containing allergens such as nuts is introduced to the child, then-
+
| Apart from these, while preparing the baby’s food always use local, regional and seasonal ingredients.
 
+
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 01:26
+
| 01:29
| start with the small portion such as the tip of a teaspoon

| Please, do not add salt and honey in baby’s food till she turns one.
 
+
|-
+
| 01:31

| Now let’s learn how to make these nutritious powders at home.
+
| the baby requires up to 200 calories of energy from complementary foods.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 01:52
+
| 01:51
| But before that keep in mind-
+
| Only well cooked and a pureed form of the food should be given.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 01:54
+
| 01:56
| The recipes in this tutorial have been made using the following methods-
+
| Let’s begin with our recipes but, before that keep in mind-
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:00
+
| 02:01
| Soaking
+
| One can use breastmilk
 
+
Roasting
+
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:03
+
| 02:04
| germination
+
| coconut milk or
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:05
+
| 02:06
| and cooking
+
| boiled and cooled water to make the following recipes.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:07
+
| 02:10
| Cooking may include any one or combination of following methods:
+
| The first recipe is Black-eyed beans puree.
 
+
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:12
+
| 02:14
| dry roasting
+
| To make it, we will need one tablespoon of sprouted Black-eyed beans or Cowpeas
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:14
+
| 02:21
| steaming
+
| Note that, the procedure of sprouting has been explained in another tutorial of the same series.
 
+
and boiling
+
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:17
+
| 02:29
| All these methods will reduce Phytates and Oxalates in the food which prevents absorption of minerals from the food
+
| Start the preparation by gently washing sprouted Black-eyed beans.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:26
+
| 02:35
| and will improve nutrient absorption from the food.
+
| Take out these beans in a steel container
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:30
+
| 02:39
| Now, let’s begin with our first recipe:
+
| and soak it for an hour or two.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:33
+
| 02:42
| '''Amylase powder'''
+
| Then, gently remove the outer cover by rubbing between fingers.
 
+
But first, let us discuss the benefits of it-
+
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:39
+
| 02:47
| '''Amylase''' is an enzyme or chemical required for the digestion of food.
+
| Separate the outer covers
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:45
+
| 02:49
| It is produced in a limited amount in the baby’s body.
+
| and take out these beans in a steel pot.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:50
+
| 02:52
| This powder provides additional '''amylase''' and
+
| Add water until the beans get covered.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:53
+
| 02:56
| increases nutrient content and absorption from the food in which it is added.
+
| Keep this steel pot in a pressure cooker.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 02:59
+
| 03:00
| Thus, '''amylase''' rich flour or '''amylase''' powder should be given to the baby.
+
| Cook it until 4-5 whistles.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 03:05
+
| 03:03
| Let's learn the recipe for Amylase powder.
+
| Remove it from the flame and allow it to cool for some time.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 03:08
+
| 03:07
| Ingredients required for making '''Amylase''' powder are-
+
| Now, gently separate cooked outer covers if there are any

| Add a little amount of boiled water
  
 
|-

| 03:23
| ½ cup of Ragi
+
| or the remaining pressure cooked water
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 03:19
+
| 03:26
| Procedure:
+
| and the Black-eyed beans puree is ready.
 
+
First, soak all the items separately in water for around 10 hours.
+
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 03:25
+
| 03:30
| Soaking will improve the moisture content of ingredients.
+
| This Black-eyed beans puree is rich in '''Protein'''
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 03:29
+
| 03:33
| After 10 hours remove all the items.
+
| '''Phosphorus'''
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 03:33
+
| 03:35
| Keep them in a strainer and let all the water drain out.
+
| '''Iron'''
 +
 
 +
Zinc
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 03:38
+
| 03:37
| Then, one by one tie all the ingredients in a clean and dry cotton cloth.
+
| and '''Magnesium'''
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 03:43
+
| 03:39
| Keep them aside till they sprout.
+
| To make such purees, you can also use any locally available alternatives such as-
  
 
|-
 
|-
 
| 03:46
 
| 03:46
| This process is called Germination.
+
| Moth beans
 +
 
 +
Bengal gram
  
 
|-
 
|-
 
| 03:49
 
| 03:49
| Note that-
+
| Yellow peas
 +
 
 +
Red lentils
  
 
|-
 
|-
 
| 03:51
 
| 03:51
| Some items will take longer time and
+
| Green peas
  
 
|-
 
|-
 
| 03:53
 
| 03:53
| Some will take a shorter period of time for germination.
+
| Kidney beans
 +
 
 +
Chickpeas
 +
 
 +
|-
 +
| 03:55
 +
| Horse gram, etc.
  
 
|-

| Here, Ragi will take longer time than other ingredients.
+
| The second recipe is Pumpkin puree.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 04:02
+
| 04:01
| After germination dry them in the sunlight for a day or two.
+
| For that we require 250 grams of Yellow Pumpkin

During roasting, continuous stirring is required.
+
|-
 +
| 04:18
 +
| Remove it from the flame
  
 
|-
 
|-
 
| 04:20
 
| 04:20
| Next, separate the outer cover of all items by rubbing between clean hands.
+
| and let it cool for some time.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 04:26
+
| 04:22
| After removing the outer cover, mix all the ingredients.
+
| Now make a puree of this cooked Pumpkin using a mixer or a stone grinder.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 04:30
+
| 04:29
| Now make a powder of this mixture using the grinder.
+
| The Pumpkin puree is ready.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 04:35
+
| 04:32
| And the '''Amylase''' powder is ready.
+
| This Pumpkin puree is a source of '''Vitamin A'''
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 04:39

+
| Green Pumpkin
  
and khichdi
+
White Pumpkin, etc.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 04:54
+
| 04:50
| Otherwise, one can also make a porridge of '''Amylase''' powder.
+
| Now we will see the third recipe, which is Ragi porridge.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 04:59
+
| 04:54

 +
Firstly, soak the Ragi for around 9 to 12 hours.

+
| Remove it in a strainer and rinse it thoroughly using water.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 05:20
+
| 05:24

| 08:25
| This entire process is called germination.
+
| 2 cups of washed and trimmed Spinach leaves
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 08:38
+
| 08:29
| Please note: As we discussed earlier, the duration of germination will be different for each ingredient.

| and one teaspoon of ghee.
  
 
|-
 
|-
| 08:45

00:17 Black-eyed beans puree
00:19 Pumpkin puree
00:21 Ragi porridge

Sorghum porridge

00:24 and Spinach leaves puree
00:27 Before we begin, it is important to remember that-
00:31 Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months.
00:36 After completion of 6 months, breast milk is not enough for the baby.
00:42 Therefore, along with breastfeeding the baby should be fed home cooked food too.
00:48 It is known as complementary feeding.
00:51 While introducing a Complementary food to the baby, start one food at a time.
00:57 It will help to find if the baby is allergic to any food.
01:02 Once the baby gets comfortable, start giving the combination of ingredients.
01:09 Initially, start with one tablespoon twice a day
01:13 then, gradually, go up to 4 tablespoons twice a day.
01:18 Apart from these, while preparing the baby’s food always use local, regional and seasonal ingredients.
01:29 Please, do not add salt and honey in baby’s food till she turns one.
01:36 Also, do not add sugar and jaggery until the baby is 2 years of age.
01:43 After completion of 6 months,
01:45 the baby requires up to 200 calories of energy from complementary foods.
