Coriander Curd Rice

This mildly flavoured combination of rice with a vegetable (coriander) and a dairy product (curds) helps you to introduce more flavours to your baby's food. This is a great recipe for a hot summer lunch. The texture is also made perfect for 9 months by blending it coarsely in a mixer. Curds made from cows milk is suggested by most paediatricans as it's more easily digestible by kids.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes.
Cooking Time: 13 minutes.
Makes ½ cup.

1 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania)
4 tbsp curds (dahi)
2 tbsp rice (chawal), washed and drained
½ tsp ghee
¼ tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
A pinch of asafoetida (hing)

1. Heat the ghee in a saucepan and add the cumin seeds.
2. When the seeds crackle, add the asafoetida and rice and sauté on a medium flame for a minute.
3. Add approx ¾ cup of water and mix well. Cover it with a lid and cook on a medium flame for 10 to 12 minutes or till the rice is overdone, all the water has been evaporated and it can be easily mashed, while stirring occasionally.
