Servings: 1 cup
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup carrots finely diced
- 1/2 cup red lentils
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients, except the cilantro, in small pot and bring to a boil.
- Cook over medium heat for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Add the cilantro and cook for another 3 minutes. The carrots should be very soft and the lentils should be broken down.
- Take the pot off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. If this mixture is too thick, it can be thinned out with breast milk, baby formula, or water as needed.
Notes
- This baby food can be served as is because everything is very soft. However, if your baby is not ready for the chunky texture, you can either mash it with a fork or puree it in a food processor or blender.
- Not all coconut milks are the same (they vary in taste and ingredients). I highly recommend using Arroy-D coconut milk.
