Dear Chithra!
Very beautifully you have conveyed your daughter’s feedback on my curd rice! Thanks a lot for that. Your daughter’s feedback reminds me one another feedback I always get.
In the native place, my sister’s son who is a mentally retarded boy always enjoys my food whenever he comes to eat at my home. He always praises me and urges my sister to learn that recipe. I always value his feedback as a beautiful one!

Vanakkam Mrs.Mano.
How dumb of me. As a mother, I felt the most joy getting such a response from a smart, expressive accelerated learner.
But getting the same response from a differently abled person is something humoungous. Thats something to be treasured. Reading your reply, I felt myself a littled, at the sametime honored that you shared it.
You touch many lives.

I am going to post a tasty porridge- that is Oats Kunji. Health wise, it is nutritious and good for people with ailments like Diabetes and Hypertension. This is a fine breakfast dish for elders and also good for one year old babies. We can add so many vegetables to our likings. But cauliflower, drumsticks, root vegetables like potato, yam and ladiesfinger are not suitable to add in this kunji. Carrot, peas, baby corn, tomatoes, a little raddish, a little palak, French beans and onions will enhance the taste.
OATS VEGETABLE PORIDGE:
ஓட்ஸ் காய்கறி கஞ்சி
Ingredients:
Oats- 4 to 5 tbsp
Finely chopped Tomato-1
Finely chopped onion-half
Small garlic flakes-5
Finely Shredded ginger-a pinch
Finely chopped coriander- 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Oil- 2 tsp
Fennel seeds or cumin seeds- 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder- half sp
Procedure:
Heat a pan and pour the oil.
Add the fennel or cumin seeds and when they splutter, add the onion with the other vegetables and fry nicely until they are well cooked and the oil floats on top.
Pour 5 cups of water with enough salt.
Immediately add the oats.
Mix well and let it boil for a few minutes until the oats are cooked.
The delicious oats kunji is ready now!
Variations:
If fennel seeds are used, a few mint leaves can be added when frying the vegetables. It will give a delicious touch. 1 or 2 teaspoons of Shredded coconut can be added in the end. 2 tbsps of coconut milk can be added in the end to give an extra taste. But it is not good for elderly people. Instead of vegetables, cooked chicken pieces can be added along with onion, tomato, garlic, mint and ginger.

For one year old baby, you can give the following food varieties. If I can find more, I will again post them for you!!
1. Take a small cube of potato, 1 tsp of shredded carrot, a pea sized beetroot, 1 tsp of chopped keerai, a small piece of chow chow, a small garlic[ to wipe out the gas produced by the food], 1 tsp of green gram, 1 small beans, a small tomato, little coriander leaves and 2tbsp of raw rice or boiled rice in a bowl. Pressure cook them with enough water. Mash them finely with salt and fill in the feeding bottle. You can add the vegetables according to their availability. A very small piece of pumpkin can also be added. But always make it certain to add tomato, potato and carrot in various measurements. These will enhance the taste and the child will like it.
2. There are so many types of sathu maavu varieties. I think you know about it. You can find the recipes in this same mayyam. I think you can find it in an old thread of Kugans. Make the sathu maavu. Pour 1 ½ cups of milk in a pan and add 1 tsp of this powder with enough sugar. Boil well until the maavu is combined with the milk thoroughly and nicely cooked. Pour this in a feeding bottle and give it to the baby.
3. The food must be always warm.
4. Soak 1 tbsp of wheat in a cup of water overnight. In the morning grind the wheat well and squeeze out the milk from it. Boil the milk with jaggery. When it is thickened, put off the fire. It will be like loosened halwa. You can add a pinch of cardamom powder in it when you are cooking. Add few drops of ghee to it. This is a healthiest food for the child. A doctor prescribed this food.
5. Boil an apple and mash it with enough sugar. You can add small pieces of papaya and pear when mashing the fruit. This is a nutritious food for the child.
6. Pressure cook a small potato with a few frozen peas and a small piece of carrot. Mash it finely with a pinch of salt. This you can give twice a week.
Thank you very much Mano mam...I am glad I get such beautiful and valuable responses even though I come here very rarely..I am missing a lot by not being able to be here on a regular basis. I will try these and get back to you. I did try that wheat recipe once, but without jaggery. so i should try this also next time. I give him dal rice with beans,peas and carrot mostly. So will try out this one.
Today is a holiday in bangalore..planning to try out some simple recipe from this thread if possible.
thanks u once again for the lovely response.

Thats so nice of you dev...this is highly useful for people like me who come here rarely.
Its so easy to go through the list of recipes also due to their classifications.
