Whilst a very hot chicken curry may not hit the spot for babies, a mild and creamy one is often popular. Dried apricots are rich in betacarotene and also contain iron.

We have just made this!!!! Only problem is it only made 3 portions so i would say to double up on all weights!! My little one absolutely loved it!!! I gave her some plain toast soldiers with it which she also really enjoyed! :-)

My 17 month old loved this dish when he was younger - it was one of his favourites - although the recipe i have printed off was made with rice previously. Anyway now he just won't eat it - i hate when that happens with something that they used to love and then they go right off it

my baby was getting bored with his usual meals so i tried this and he loved it. i added mashed potato and rice together so it was more like his usual meals in texture. i also addded more korma paste as he enjoys strong flavours :-)

I couldn't find mild curry paste in the store, so I used a pre-made korma sauce. Cooper loved the end result, but I would prefer to make my own curry paste over using ready-made ingredients. Can anyone come with suggestions?
