Sago Urad Dal Porridge for Babies | Javvarisi Ulunthu Kanji with stepwise pics and a short YouTube video. If you like my video, please SUBSCRIBE to my youtube channel. This is a healthy and tasty weight gain porridge for babies above 8+ months. As sago / sabudana / javvarisi is loaded with carbohydrates and urad dal is protein-rich, it is an excellent source for nutrition for babies and toddlers. I have used very little ghee for making the porridge which lends a nice taste that even fussy toddlers also love to drink. This powder stays good for 2 to 3 months and I have already shared a Health Mix Powder for toddlers, do check it too.
