Muddapappu/Simple Daal for Little Ones

This is one simple and healthy legume dish that can be enjoyed by everyone , yes everyone including the little ones starting from 8 months of age.

Let us see how this yummy dish is prepared-------------

Main Ingredients :

----------------------

Toor Daal............................1/4 cup

Water..................................1cup/as required

Salt.....................................to taste

Preparation :

-----------------

First we need to dry roast the daal. Place a pan on the stove on medium heat and add toor daal to it and dry roast it till it starts giving out the aroma.

Once it is toasted switch off the stove and transfer the daal to a cooking bowl and rinse the daal with cold water.Once the daal is rinsed add a cup of water and place it in the pressure cooker and cook it for 4 whistles and switch off the stove.

Once the cooker cools down remove the cooked daal and add salt and mix it well with a spoon.

The Simple Daal/Muddapappu is ready to be served with warm rice and ghee/clarified butter.

Note :

---------

1) It is always good to dry roast the daal before you pressure cook it. It helps with better digestion for anyone and mainly little kids.

2) For feeding the little ones mash the daal along with well-cooked rice and add little ghee to it and feed them.

3) You can also give this daal as a soup to the little ones by adding more water while cooking it.

4) If you like you can add mashed veggies like carrots to this daal .
