• Remove all the seeds from the fruit.Now transfer it to the mixer jar pulse it once.
  
• Then add little water or milk to get the desired puree consistency.
  

Notes

• Use breast milk till 1 year of age. I didn't introduce formula milk to him so added water, but if you prefer you can use formula milk.After 1 year, you can use cows milk.
• Milk or water is added just to thin the consistency for easy feeding.
• The texture can vary according to your preference.You can blend using mixie for a fine puree, for semi fine use a blender and you can handmash it too.But keep changing the texture from smooth to coarse as they grow up.
• Seeds are not advisable to be fed for babies under 1 year so I always remove it as it might upset little tummy.
• I have steam cooked banana which is the healthier way than pressure cooking or boiling.
