Notes:

Sterilize the bowls and spoons used for feeding your baby in a vessel with hot water for five minutes and keep it immersed in the same vessel until use.
Some of the recipes given above are prepared with more spices as it's a family recipe. Adjust the spices according to your baby's preference.
Never introduce more than 1 food at a time when introducing solids to your baby.
Salt, sugar, cow's milk, and honey are not recommended in baby's food until 1 year of age.
Check for allergy symptoms when introducing new food to your baby, and stop feeding if you find any symptoms.
This food chart is prepared to show what foods can be included in the baby's diet at a particular month. It should not be considered medical advice.
Feed your baby with breastmilk or formula milk on-demand other than the timings mentioned in the chart.
Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
Steaming is a healthy option for baby food than pressure cooking. So I prefer steaming using an Idli pot or steamer.
