Baby Food - Rice, Dal and Fish


Rice is an energy rich food, easy to digest and high in B complex vitamins. Rice is known to have a good medicinal effect during bouts of diarrhea.

Fish is packed with brain-building goodness inside it. DHA, short for docosahexaenoic acid, is an omega-3 essential fatty acid vital for brain and eye development and the best source for it is fish.  Start offering your baby small amounts of fish and it will become his/her favorite very soon.

Lentils/dals are a nutritional packet in itself. High in protein and fibre it’s a good way to ensure your baby’s growth.

From your daily lunch menu keep aside an unflavored portion for your baby. For example, if your preparing dal, pressure cook dal with onions and tomato (skip the green chillies, add your seasonings later). 

If you are making fish, pick out clean white unseasoned portion of the cooked fish.

Puree the rice, dhal and fish. Keep the consistency as your child prefers. If he/she still doesn't like very grainy texture, make the puree very fine.

This recipe provides approximately 200 Calories.

  1. We are getting worried about our baby's foods and nutrition; therefore we need to go for better option on selecting baby nutritious foods. Rice, cereals and fish all the ingredients are the best option for our baby. All these stuff consists of protein and minerals. So in most of the occasion we choose best foods for our baby that consists of protein, minerals and vitamin.
