Sweet Potato, Peas & Rice (Baby Food)
A balanced meal is what I like for my little one, and this sweet potato, peas and rice recipe is the perfect balanced lunch. This recipe is great for a 8 month old + baby.
Ingredients
1 tbsp oil
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup sweet potatoes, chopped
3 tbsp frozen peas
1 bay leaf
3 tbsp Daawat Basmati Rice, washed
2 cups water
Pinch of grated nutmeg
Instructions
1
Heat oil in a pot. Add onions and cook until translucent.
2
Add the garlic and cook for another 30-45 seconds.
3
Add the sweet potatoes, peas, rice and bay leaf. Stir and let cook for 2-3 minutes. Add water and stir. Let simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice has cooked and sweet potatoes and peas have softened.
4
Remove the bay leaf (very important) and grate some nutmeg.
5
Mash the mixture using a potato masher or blend into a thick soup using a blender. Serve warm (it should be warm to the touch, always taste it to check for temperature before giving it to your baby).
I love sweet potatoes with strong tea in the morning and evening.
