With mild flavors and a cooling effect, this easy to make coriander curd khichdi recipe is ideal for little babies and toddlers who don’t like spicy food.
When you’re out of ideas for what to feed your baby, one of the easiest things you can make is khichdi! Khichdi is a nutritious one pot meal which doesn’t take long to cook and can include any ingredient you have on hand. Whether it’s tomato khichdi, spinach khichdi, vegetable khichdi or masala khichdi, you can choose whatever your baby will like.
Today, we’ve got a yummy khichdi that uses slightly different ingredients – coriander and curd. Not many people use coriander in baby food, but they’re missing out! Coriander has several health benefits and it’s a wonderful source of dietary fiber, manganese, iron and magnesium. Dal is among the ideal first foods for babies as they are highly nutritious and filled with protein, fat, vitamin and minerals. Curd helps to soothe the baby’s developing digestive system making this dish an all rounder!
