Lentils and ragi veggie soup for toodler's

Today's special recipe is Lentil ragi veg soup for toddlers. I mentioned this soup as special because, it's my son Riddhesh's one of favourite recipe. It's very healthy, filling and tasty soup for toddlers. I started feeding ragi to Riddhesh from 7th mnth in different forms. Starting 2 months I use to feed plain ragi malt, later from 9th month I started adding oats nd nuts powder along with ragi. From 11month to 12th month I started adding dates, jaggery powder and syrup in ragi malt. After completing his 1st year I started giving him salt then I started this lentil nd veggie ragi soup. I regularly use moong dal or aahar dal and veggies like potato,carrot, beans and sweet potatoes. This soup is very healthy and best food to increase baby's weight.
