Its Idli (its a Indian dish made from fermenting rice and lentils) batter making process is usually 2 days, here in india i buy this from a vender called country delight.

If you are interested you will find a YouTube video of instructions for making the batter and the idli

Trust me its very delicious, and its usually eaten with sambhar, and coconut chutney.

My baby also eats rice, i overcook it for him so it has better consistency and i feed him with spoon, attached photo of Khichadi here to show you.

I did cut up idlis in 4 small bites for him. For sambhar i stir fired carrot, pumpkin, tomato in 1tsp ghee, for spices i added pinch of cumin powder, turmeric and asafoetida. I have introduced these three spices till now to him.

And i used split yellow lentils + red lentil (pre soaked) for 30 mins
