Notes
- I have added little salt, incase if you are reluctant to introduce salt till 1 year then skip it.
- The consistency is up to you, you can make it more gooey or as per your needs.
- The quantity I've given is for 2 to 3 servings. But depends on each baby so feed accordingly, do not force feed. Don't worry you can have the leftover as its so tasty. 🙂
- Always while starting any new food, try with just 3 to 4 spoons then gradually increase the quantity.
