Banana powder | Nendran vazhai powder |Infant food recipes | Indian baby food

This method of making powder out of raw banana is purely originated from kerala. When I was reading an ayurvedic book,I found out this recipe and felt to try out for feeding my little one when he was 8 months. I was in bit confusion how will it work out as am trying for the first time. But my try was not in vain. I do make this powder and store it for making porridge for my kid.
I have known from others that this powder can also be used for making in ice cream, milk shakes and halwa..... But other than making porridge I have not tried out any other recipes. I do try out sdomne recipes from this powder,when it works out good...surely I will update.
