Soak the rice and dal for an hour or more if you want to get cooked faster and it will also be helpful for kids to digest them easily.

Notes

For babies, we would need the rice mashed and cooked well. so go ahead adding 1:5 ratio rice:water. but depending upon the quality of rice, this may vary between 3-5 cup water. If you do not want even tiny chunks, grind the rice coarsely (Just a pulse) and other ingredients before cooking so that everything gets mashed well.
