Baby Food has always been a confusing subject. Specially since our traditional food is at times so different from what is medically recommended. Moreover, each baby is different and none of them are able to talk about what they really want. That’s what makes this topic a challenging one. Mothers have to just observe their babies while they eat and figure out a way to make nutritious food which is also eaten eventually.

When I announced the event My Baby’s Favourite Food I wanted to know from moms what their kids liked as babies. I am really happy to have received these recipes from blogger friends. I want to thank you all for taking out your time and sharing your recipes with us. I am sure they will provide ideas to moms of li’l babies who might be having a hard time feeding food.

Now for the giveaway, my eBook 60 Great Recipes for your baby, which was announced for 3 lucky winners. Well, it turns out I could not choose 3 people as all the recipes were so good. I will hence be giving a copy of my book to all the participants. You will soon receive a mail with a link to the eBook which is currently being sold on amazon. Hope its useful to you and other moms in your circle.

My little toddler loves to eat this particular Macaroni dish. She is very picky with her food I try my level best to convince her to indulge somefood. As she is learning ABCD I picked up this alphabetical macaroni from the store and introduced it to her and the end results were amazing she loved it and wanted to eat more. I have added some veggies and chicken to it. Vegetarians can minus the chicken.

Pongal | Ven Pongal is a rice dish which is made in south india which is prepared with rice and moong dal. Usually this dish can be prepared for breakfast or evening dinners. My elder daughter’s favorite dish in the evenings when she was a baby (almost from 1 year she started liking it).

Pudina Pulao by Roma

My baby doesn’t eat rice very easily. She either wants to have it with dal or just plain. I found pudina rice as a nutritive alternative as it contains a chutney-like paste in which the rice is simmered. I am happy that the baby likes it too.
