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.
