Carrot Puree Recipe – First Food For Babies

Ingredients

• 1 Carrot (Gajjar) peeled and diced
• Water for steaming

Steps

1. To begin making carrot puree recipe, first wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into slices.
2. Add the carrot slices to a pressure cooker. Add 2-3 tablespoon water to it. Pressure cook the carrots for 2 whistles. Put the pressure cooker under running tap water and let it cool. Alternatively, you can steam the carrot pieces in a baby food steamer and blender.
3. You can also cook the carrots in a pan covered till they become soft. However cooking in a pressure cooker/ steamer just saves on time and is healthier as quick cooking preserves most nutrition.
4. Once the carrot pieces are cooked well, put them in a baby food blender and make smooth puree. Add more water to achieve smooth and thin consistency.
5. Serve the carrot puree to the baby, by adjusting the consistency by adding a little water to the puree if required.
