    Beetroot Pulao Recipe for Babies, Toddlers and Kids

    I love pulaos as they are not only easy to make but deliciously healthy! Beetroot pulao is no exception, it's colorful and appealing too. It's also one of the best way to include healthy beetroots in our diet. If your toddler/kid doesn't like taste of beetroot then you should try this beetroot pulao! As even beetroot haters might like this pulao:) This Beetroot pulao can be given (without salt) to babies from 10 months after your baby starts eating with the family.

    Let's get on to check how to make this easy beetroot pulao for babies, toddlers and kids.

    Notes :

    • Normal cooking rice also can be used to prepare this beetroot pulao.
    • This beetroot pulao can be prepared with coconut milk too.
    • Skip salt & green chilli for small babies.
    • Adjust spices according to your preference.
    • You can skip green peas and make it with Beetroots alone.
    • You could also use grated beetroots instead of chopped pieces,
    • If you are baby/toddler won't prefer whole rice, increase the water amount while cooking and give it in mashed form. Also take care to remove the whole spices while feeding.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.

        You can give garam masala and red chili powder as part of family food minus salt. But make sure it is not too spicy or overpowering. Decide based on your baby's tolerance level. If you are preparing this beetroot pulao for your baby alone (small quantity) , you can skip the red chili powder and garam masala
