TODDLER CURRIED VEGGIES
I made this for my 1 yr old and she ate 3 small bowls. This is from a kid that existed on milk and toast! It became a weekly option for her and I still make it now and she is 2. I make up this quantity and freeze in ice cube trays. I sometimes use this recipe but with larger chopped veggies to go with grilled chicken. For younger babies leave out the curry and puree. Servings was a guess depends on how much they eat and how big your veggies are

Tips:
- Ensure your child is old enough for curries. While there's no specific age recommendation, a toddler's palate must be developed enough to handle the flavors. - Use mild curry powder or paste. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. - Add sweetness to balance the curry's heat. This can be done with fruits like apples, raisins, or mango, or with sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. - Use a variety of vegetables. This will make the curry more nutritious and flavorful. - Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite. This will help them retain their nutrients and flavor. - Serve the curry with rice, quinoa, or another grain. This will help fill your toddler up and make the meal more balanced. - Garnish the curry with fresh herbs, yogurt, or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.Conclusion:
