Hi All,

Can u give ideas for making an interesting dinner for my 9 months old baby girl.

- For break fast, i give her mashed idli with milk/cerelac wheat.
- For lunch, rice+little toor dal+carrot & beans all cooked and mashed in a blender properly.
- For dinner, plain rice cooked and mashed in a blender with little rasam made from tomato pieces. i dont add any of the usual spices that go into rasam. its very bland in taste.

she resists dinner a lot. wud appreciate if u can give some ideas to make nutrious as well as interesting dinner for her.

thanks
padmaja mandeep replied. 1) vegetable mash
for that u need
one medium carrot
hand full of brocolli
1 medium potatoe
15 -20 peas
boil carrot and potatoes till they r tender then just 5 min before u know they will be ready add brocolli and peas. once every thing is tender then mash/blend then add 20ml milk mix, then add unsalted butter couple of teaspoons and hand full of chedder cheese mix well n its ready, if u need it bit more liquidy then add more milk.
