  • In the meantime, ghee fry the cashews&raisins and keep it ready. Heat jaggery in a saucepan with water until it's immersed level. Once it melts completely, strains the jaggery water through a strainer to remove impurities and keep it ready. Open the pressure cooker once pressure released. Mash it with a laddle if required, but make sure Moong dal should be soft but not too mushy, so don't mash too much.

  • Now add filtered jaggery water to cooked moong dal and mix well. Also, add crushed cardamom. Now cook everything in a low flame for 3 to 5 minutes. Stir it occasionally while cooking in order to prevent the bottom from burning. Then add coconut milk and mix well.

Notes:

  • If the kheer becomes thicker, add extra coconut milk or milk to adjust the consistency.
  • The color of the kheer depends on the jaggery variety used. You can adjust the amount of jaggery as per your liking's.
  • I used coconut milk. You could also use cow's milk instead of coconut milk for babies above one year.
  • Avoid jaggery for babies below one year. Instead, add fruit puree for sweetness. Serve the kheer thick instead of runny for small babies.
  • Skip whole cashews or raisins for small babies as they lead to choking hazard. Instead, add nuts powder.
  • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
  • This moong dal kheer becomes thicker when cooled down. So switch off the flame when it is slightly thick.
  • Make sure to introduce each ingredient separately before you try this moong dal kheer to your baby.
