    Tomato Rasam for Babies

    Tomato rasam is a South Indian style tomato soup recipe, best for babies when they catch a cold and cough. It makes easier digestion and ensures speedy recovery when they are sick. It does not only soothe the stomach but also tastes super good. This tomato rasam can be given to babies of age 8 months plus and toddlers.

    I make this tomato rasam to my baby at lunch weekly thrice and whenever she is bored of this moong dal khichadi and spinach rice. You can feed this tomato rasam as a soup at mid-morning 11 am or mix this with well-mashed rice and feed as lunch. It's purely your preference. Here is how to make the tomato rasam recipe for babies and kids.

    • The color of the rasam depends on the type of tomato used.
    • Switch off the flame once it's frothy otherwise it may taste bitter.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
    • Salt or sugar is not advisable for babies under one year.

      Hi,

      Can I blend the tomatoes along with the skin? It's there any particular reason to remove the skin? My baby is 22 months old now.

      Thank you
