Mommy knows best: Finger Food : Almond Roti

Put a pen on it

So there are often times when I think to myself, "this really worked with Veer, maybe I should share it with the other Moms!" And there are other times when I look to other moms to get their reactions to something absolutely crazy that I put to test with my baby boy.

There are also times when I want to share some cooking ideas, some playtime techniques or basic fashion with other new Moms without really being in their face.

Moms need a place where they can do their victory dance and also where they can vent their frustrations. Mommy groups are great, but sometimes it becomes a Pi***g contest (in a man's world). I just want to pen down my days of happiness and crazies and let people decide if they want to use my 2 cents or not!

So here I am with my little blog, writing away my days and embossing them as memories a.k.a - "Putting a pen on it"

Take what you please :)

Finger Food : Almond Roti

Teething is NEVER fun! But what it makes you do is give foods that the little one's can chew one. One random invention was this "Almond Roti"
I am all for teething biscuits/crackers once in a while, especially when they are doing well on meals. How much can they possibly munch on if they have eaten a good breakfast/lunch.
I somehow noticed that my cracker monster started spitting out the teething biscuits for a few days in a row. Maybe his taste buds are developing and he could taste what I taste - an after taste! Most of the baby crackers/biscuits etc have this funky after taste which is so not fun.

Anyways, that promoted me to experiment in the kitchen for something chewy and packed with nutrients! I tried a go at this Almond roti.

Ingredients :
Whole wheat flour
Almond Meal ( Blended whole almonds)
Almond Butter
Almond milk

Method :
Mix the whole wheat flour and almond meal together and knead with almond milk to form a play-dough like texture.

Use a rolling pin to make small flat round rotis and roast them on the griddle. Once done, spread almond butter on the rotis, and serve small easy pieces.

It was fun to watch him say " Mooo" (MORE) and he chewed on a few pieces for quite some time.
