Method
Clean the rice and toor dhal. Take a cooker, add all the items into it and cook for nearly 10-12 whistles. Remove the pan from the flame and let the rice cool for sometime. Take a small portion of warm rice, add ghee and give to the baby. It can be refrigerated for a week. If you are refrigerating the rice, while giving it to baby, take a few spoon rice, add little water to it, add ghee, and microwave for a minute. Smash the rice with a heavy spoon and give to the baby. Do not add the same vegetable always. You can add these veggies also. Try different combinations of veggies for new taste.
