But we don't boil for 2 hours as mentioned above. I would take 1 Table spoon rice and put 3/4th cup water and boil for 15 minutes and in between I mash the rice with the masher so it comes to nice texture. I use to serve this initially with water in which pulses are bolied and a little salt to it. Once my baby was used to this I started adding direct mashed pulses into the rice. Now I try adding milk and little sweet to make it a pudding. this tastes great with brown rice. Youc an also add mashed carrot or spinach , sweet potato e.t.c. I also tried tossing the same with half garlic clove, butter and salt. My baby liked it. The first food for my baby was congee only. But we don’t boil for 2 hours as mentioned above.

I am from Malaysia and congee is a very common first solid food for Malaysian be it Malays, Chinese or Indians in Malaysia(we are a multi-racial country). For me, I have been cooking congee with brown rice mixing with millet and quinoa after reading the goodness of the two grains on your site. Plus I also add some vegetables according to the four-day rule as I progress along starting with sweet potatoes, next carrot, potatoes and in fact I tried with beet roots plus apples as well as I was told it is very good for babies. For extra iron and calcium I add organic kelps and the congee is often eaten by babies and adults alike in my family. Hi..I am a big fan of your site.
