Millet Pudding Baby Led Weaning

Ingredients:

• 50 g millet (millet needs to be kept in water over night or at least 6 hours, in order to reduce cooking time and ensure proper nutrient release; also, before cooking, it needs to be rinsed thoroughly)
• 200 ml milk
• 1 egg or half of banana
• 125 g full fat curd cheese (you can also make it at home if you can’t find it in supermarkets; my recipe is here)
• (various fruit if you have them)

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180 C or 350 F.
2. Put 100 ml of the milk in a pan and bring to the boil. Add the rinsed millet and let it cook until all the milk is absorbed (should take around 15 min). Set aside once it’s done and let it cool.
3. In the meantime, mix the egg or banana with the curd cheese and the rest of 100 ml milk. Then add this mixture to the millet, making sure everything is incorporated well. At this point, you can add various fruit, cinnamon or desiccated coconut for flavor.
4. Grease a 20 cm/8 in cake tin with butter and add the whole millet mixture in it.
5. Bake for around 35 min until set and slightly browned on top.
6. Served it with blueberries. Parents can enjoy with jam or honey on top.
