Answer: Sooner than you might think. Read on for more information and some tasty, baby-friendly curry recipes.
Research shows that from around seven to 10 months of age, babies are remarkably open to new flavour sensations, and are able to enjoy a wide variety of interesting tastes. If you are able to offer something a little different, more likely than not, your baby will be game enough to give it a try.
“One of the best ways to encourage your child to have a wide and varied palate is to feed him a good range of interesting and flavourful fresh ingredients from a very young age,” says Baby Organix founder Lizzie Vann, whose top-selling recipe for seven- to 10-month-old children is a mildly spiced Vegetable Korma.
Babies can eat curry, but don’t be tempted to share a vindaloo or your takeaway (however mild) with your baby. A fragrant and mild korma or pasanda (without nuts) is a good first choice. Either prepare it yourself or check the packet ingredients.
There is a wide range of herbs you can introduce your baby to, such as coriander, parsley, basil, dill, chives, cardamom, cinnamon and paprika. Steer clear of chilli; it is too strong to give to a baby and should be introduced slowly, once your child is older.
