Potato rice baby food recipe
This is an updated post, my younger son is 3 now but he still enjoys this.
Though potatoes are high in carbohydrates, they are complex carbs hence we do not restrict them in our diet. They make a very good baby and Toddler food helping them to gain a healthy weight.

I started giving carom flavored potato rice to my younger son when he turned 8 months. I just started with a tablespoon of this and slowly increased the quantity. I serve him this for lunch and I give him no more than twice/thrice a week.

As my little one grew up, I changed it to a rough texture and thicker consistency. White potatoes are bad for colicky babies, but adding carom seed powder reduces colic and is a very good digestive aid.

It is absolutely safe to give carom seeds powder to babies after 6 months of age. It even keeps babies away from building up phlegm, after all phlegm is undigested food that ferments forming toxins in the body.

Potato rice baby food recipe | Indian baby food recipe below

Ingredients
2 tbsp. long grain rice
50 Gms potato
1/8 carom seed pow (ajwain)
135 ml water (depends on the type of rice that is used)
A pinch of salt (optional)
A pinch of Turmeric

How to prepare indian baby food with potatoes

1. Wash and soak rice for at least half an hour, drain and measure 135 ml water, add peeled potato , chopped if you prefer and pinch of salt.

2. Pressure cook it for 4 whistles or you can cook even in a slow cooker or heavy bottomed pan till the potatoes turn mushy. If cooking in an open pan need to add more water (approximately another 90 ml) and fully cook till the rice and potatoes turn soft.

3. Add carom seed pow and turmeric. Mash the rice and potato to a smooth texture, at the end add butter. you can add more boiled water or rasam to it to get the desired consistency. i add little rasam to this.

    Thank you Swasthy for your reply… So nice of you.I haven’t yet started to give her rice n potatoes, but I’m giving her Raagi and Soochi Wheat porridge for her. She enjoys that. But I would like to change her food in between. so that she can taste variety. Im giving Cerelac/Nestum as well. Is that good for Baby’s health? or Instead of Cerelac/Nestum should I try something else?

      Welcome Arathy
      Cerelac or nestum is fine sometimes not regularly. They are precooked and dehydrated so it is good to keep it as a last option when you are unable to prepare anything. Please check this post on introducing solids for babies. This will guide you completely.

      Hi Arathy
      Thank you. If you have introduced rice and potato to your baby separately then you can try this.

      Hi Brindha
      The only way is to keep telling the kid to chew after every bite.
