Carrots Semolina Porridge or Carrots Upma for Kids

Semolina Porridge or upma is a healthy and common breakfast item in any parts of India. This is light, easy to digest. Semolina is rich in fiber and keeps you full for longer. Semolina porridge can be a savoury dish or sweet dish also

Since this is light and easily digestible, this is highly recommended for kids. When my baby turned 9 months I started giving him semolina porridge. But remember to keep this in flowing (semisolid) consistency. But as they grow up you can start giving them regular ones which is cooked for adults.

For kids you can add different variation and nutrition to plain upma. Add any vegetables. I prefer to add potatoes, cauliflower, green peas, green beans, carrots, beets to the porridge for my kid. This is one of the way we can add nutrition of green vegetables.

Depending upon age of baby you can decide whether you need to grate the vegetables or keep chunks or small pieces. Below 1 year I would suggest you mash the vegetables completely as they can't chew even smaller chunks.
