I am a great fan of Tarla Dalal and especially love her book "Baby and Toddler cookbook". It is an interesting book with an impressive collection of recipes for babies and Toddlers.

I have been following these since my son was 6 months till now and have also been working on my own versions experimenting with different flavours and textures.

One of my son's favourite soup from this book as below:

This is a very filling soup and will not make the baby hungry for many hours. You can start to give this soup from 8 month onwards.

Apple - 1/4 cup (peeled and chopped)

Carrot - 2 Tbsp (peeled and grated)

Potato - 1/4 cup (peeled and chopped)

Onion - 1 tbsp (optional)

oil - 1/2 tsp

1. Heat oil in a pressure cooker and saute the onions for 2 mins.

2. Add the apple, carrots and potato and saute for 2-3 mins

3. Add 1 cup of water and pressure cook for 2-3 whistles

4. Cool and puree in a liquidiser.

5. Strain and re-heat by simmering before serving.

You can also add a dash of salt and white pepper for flavour.
