    Lentil soup for Babies

    Lentil Soup | Dal for Baby | Dal Ka Pani for Babies - It is a watery lentil soup offered as a first food for babies next to rice once they turned six months. When you introduce this to your baby, prepare Dal ka pani with moong dal or masoor dal as those are easier to digest for babies. Once your baby is comfortable with it, you could try with toor dal. Also, this lentil soup has to be watery when you introduce, gradually you can reduce the amount of water to make it thicker and filling for your baby.

    I have introduced this dal ka pani to my baby after her tummy is adjusted with this rice porridge. She loved it when she had taken the first sip of this watery lentil soup. I was so happy to see the empty bowl. Let's get on to check how to make this protein-rich dal ka pani for babies.

        No need to soak. If you soak, you can reduce the number of whistles while cooking.
