Notes :

• You can also grind or mash the soup instead of staring. But I would recommend straining the soup for small babies and kids, as too as it might not suit some children and cause diarrhea.
• Make sure to wash the drumstick leaves well to get rid of mud if any.
• Adjust spices according to your preference.
• Don't use more water than mentioned for pressure cooking. Otherwise, the soup will be watery.
• Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
• Skip salt for babies below one year.
