    Keerai Sadam for babies

    Keerai or spinach is loaded with fiber, and it's suitable for babies. I have introduced keerai/spinach to my baby at her ten months. Once she is adjusted with this moong dal khichadi, I offered this keerai Saddam. Try to feed small amount when you start and later you can increase the quantity. Please check my notes section for more information.

    Let's check the recipe.

    Notes :
    • Cleaning the greens is important to get rid of the mud.
    • Mula keerai or siru keerai is best for babies as those are readily available and less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
    • Add one green chili for babies older than two years for spiciness.
    • Make sure the rice is well cooked and mashed before mixing with the spinach puree.
    • I use homemade ghee for my baby food.
    • Generally, rice and spinach doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
