and hence
sauteed roots with apple

heres wat i did

2 baby carrots
1 small sweet potato
1 white potato
small piece of pumpkin
1 apple

peel and dice all of these.

in pressure pan,take 1 tbsp butter(now i always have unsalted butter for baking in stock)but u can use regular butter too.
melt butter,saute all of the above,apple in the end.
add enough water

pressure cook 5-6 whistles.

mash it extremely well with potato masher....i kept mashing for long.she doesnt like texture too much.

give one feed,freeze rest.

Ramya,I stopped blending LOs food around 8months. About jeera, have you tried using the jeera powder or crush it little. Your LO is very cute.

Poonam...Zoey is sooooo adorable:kiss.

Vidyaa, apart frm wht Poonam suggested, you can try khichdi with daalia + veggies (tried and tested) and then move on to daalia n dates porridge.

Hi ILadies,

I invented -)) a new food for my baby's requirements.

Jaggery Dal with rice.

Recipe:
fry dal in a kadai without oil or anything. Cool it and pressure cook it as normal dal is done. After 4-5 whistles take out and mash the dal. Then add grated jaggery in that and mix well. This will be like soild. You can add some water and make it like a paste and mix with rice paste and feed to LO. My LO liked this very much.

Mommas,

Great thread and great ideas
I was scratching my head hard for my DS, coz he hated all the below combos.
Rice cereal + veggie, sprouted ragi powder + veggie, oats with veg or fruits, sprouted wheat powder + veg or fruit, all combos were rejected then and there. Infact he started scolding - wahhhh wahhhhhhhh when he gets to taste something he hates!! He loves only EASUM EASUM EASUM! Nothing else.
Finally i figured out he is a moong dal boy!!!!!!!
So here goes his lunch receipe:
Moong dhal 2spoons + rice + veggies
I alternate by adding white oats / sprouted wheat powder / sprouted ragi powder / wheat rava / dates / fruit purees
He loves all combos now, offcourse with Moong dhal!!! Nights he takes easum + veg/fruit purees, thats for convenience.

Morning, he takes idli or rice+lil moong dhal porridge or fruit/veg purees.

He is grabbing every single snack that DD eats - bread/ biscuits/cereals - everything he tries to taste. He rejoices whenever DD sits with her plate/bowl, crawls sooo happily to her and grabs )))))))))

Hi girls

Do we have a small masher available? THe potato masher that I have is too big for mashing 3-4oz of food.

Ramya, I have the normal Pmasher.. and it makes my work easy as I need to try mash for a long.. in few mins, it gets completely mashed.. are u having a bigger one than the normal size?
