Why This Curry Is Great for Babies:

This curry is mild, fragrant, and easy to digest. It uses a simple blend of baby-safe spices like turmeric and cumin, and it’s free from added salt, sugar, and heavy ingredients. It’s also rich in iron, protein, and healthy fats, which are all essential for brain development, energy, and growth in early childhood.

Here’s why it’s perfect for little ones:

• Chicken: A great source of protein and heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body than plant-based iron.

• Turmeric: Has natural anti-inflammatory properties and adds gentle warmth.

• Vegetables: Optional soft veggies like carrots or zucchini can boost fiber, flavor, and vitamins.

Serving Tips:

• Serve with soft cooked rice, mashed potato, or quinoa.

• For younger babies, blend the curry until smooth or mashed.

• For older babies and toddlers, offer it chunkier or in self-feeding pieces with a spoon or over rice.

Storage Tips:

• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.

• Freezer: Freeze baby portions in silicone trays for up to 1 month.
