Instant Poha Cereal mix– Travel food for 7m+ Babies

When planning for a long trip along with baby the food for baby will be a major concern for new moms. Here is the recipe for instant food for babies during travel.

I have used red rice poha. You can use any variety you get. Poha can be consumed without cooking, as we dry roast the same before grinding into powder, Fried gram also can be consumed without cooking. Hence I have added only those ingredients as a major here. Ajwain will help in easy digestion. This mix can also be used for prepare instant snacks, I will post the recipe later.
