Leftover Rice Recipes- Khichdi cutlets

Hello, What do you do if you have leftover rice or khichdi, I always love experimenting with flavours and textures in kitchen, so one day when we had ample of khichdi left, I didn't feel like giving it away or throw..

So here goes the simple recipe of khichdi cutlets for all of you to try with your babies and baby's father who are no less than a baby: 1 bowl of leftover Khichdi 1 bowl of mixed parboiled veggies (beans,carrots,peas,lauki) 1-2 green chillies 1/2 cup of boiled mashed potatoes (optional) as I already had potatoes in my khichdi 1/2 cup of grated paneer (it enhances it proteins content) 1/2 cup of chopped coriander leaves Add all spices to give it a nice flavour, I usually add chat masala, kitchen king masala, roasted cumin powder, black salt, bit of red c

Traveling with infant in air

As a young mom, I know how it is to feel and get information on every single thing possible. My little baby was 6 weeks old when I first took her to travel with us from Jaipur to Bangalore in flight. I was hell nervous, curious about how it will go. I tried to gather as much information as I could from doctors, from fellow experienced mom's, from flight attendants to I guess every other article on internet. Then it clicked me, that none of them helped with complete knowledge, everyone missed something or the other, so here I am writing all information I gathered before I traveled with my baby girl.

In hospital yes I gave up and made my baby have that formula milk. Dr advised not to use bottles and use normal spoon to feed. Eventually my baby started to latch well and I constantly only fed my baby, in course of 45 days, the box which I had from hospital was used once in 2-3 days and it was finished and then I decided I will not buy only the formula. I will be sufficient for my baby. At times, when I was in washroom, people at home started to give formula to her and then that was the day I threw
