Satisfying a Toddlerz Taste Buds



My Son's taste buds have changed over the time..from the time he started eating solids (once he completed 3 months) till now( 2years n 2 months)...And with the help of my very good fren Shazia n a lot of researching by myself..i somehow accomplished the task that My son likes to eat all veggies...n also egg,chicken n fish.. and so i thought i shd share these xperiences and recipes which may b helpful for first time momz like me...

So i decided to write about those under a separate label.." Toddler'z taste Budzz" under which i will compile all the recipes which will b in accordance with our day to day cooking..as well My son wd have luved eating it.. But i worry that i may not b able to post the pictures!!!!!

I will try posting some of the interesting things that happened when my son ate these for the first time...i wd love to write a lot on him..which shdn't b only sharing but also informative..that's what i feel!! so Let me get going!!!

To start with a simple recipe combining veggies,cereal n rice which is suitable from 6 months..until his taste buds changes for more variety..(he he he)

Lunch/Dinner For a 6 month old (onwards..)
Required:
Rice - one handful
Toor dhal - 1/2 handful
Vegetables- 1/2 cup
Garlic - one clove
Small onion - 2
Cumin seeds - a lil
salt- lil to taste

Method:
Pressure all together ..with required water..give 10-12 whistles...Then mash together with a spoon when hot...add ghee..n serve!!

Note:Vegetables can b started with carrot,beetroot initially and then cauliflower, potato( don mash with rice..as it becomes sticky..),beans,broad beans and then once u r sure the kid is not allergic to any of these,u can combine accordingly to give diff tastes every day!!
Dhal too..can use green moong dhal full,yellow moong dhal split or a combination!!!
