Recipe for curry - suitable for 9 month old

jobbingmusician

I was thinking about your toddler and her curry in the car on the way to work this morning, and it suddenly occurred to me that a commercial curried babyfood would probably be the quite sweet kind of curry. You could try adding some banana and/or pineapple to the recipe I suggested - both good ways of getting towards her 5-a-day! Adding fruit to curry is quite authentic, especially in Malaysian curries (as well as some parts of India. People usually curry whatever is in season in their part of the world!) :rudolf:

LOL - not sure if thats a good or bad thing!! Were you driving at the time?! Isn't is strange how our minds works?!

Thanks for the idea re the fruit for sweetness - think I will take your advise on that and add banana..... will also add raisins as she loves them!


Will scan the library for the books mentioned above too - may give me other ideas for her.

Its actually chilli powder that gives the 'kick' in curries. If you purchase some basic mild curry powder then this will give some flavour without the hot spice.

Curry powder is a blend of spices. You could research into just using 2 or 3 spices to give a bit of subtle flavour to begin with.

I'd suggest some but we buy ours from the local indian store and I dont know the english names for the spices we use - i always get them muddled up :rolleyes:

I just add yogurt after cooking if its too spicy for my little ones & take out a portion before i put in salt/sugar etc. The irony here is that being asian i don't give our kids too much spicy food as its 'too hot' for their systems & go for the blander foods till the babies able to walk & hence able to process their food. Anyway another thing is adding a few strands of saffron in their breakfasts to keep colds away. Saffron is a 'warming' spice & as its not spicy its really good for them, i always do this every winter every other day, works a treat. Anyway am digressing, goodluck

When my three daughters were young money was very tight, so I usually gave them whatever I made for us sieved. This frequently included curry and chilli, generally I would season with the salt after I had removed their portion and would also leave out any chilli adding that after removing their portion. I always added any other spices at the usual times.
