I have been eating curries ever since I can remember. From a young age, my parents offered me curries, and it’s been something I have offered in turn to my own children – even when they were babies. This baby curry recipe is perfect for the whole family, from the moment your baby turns six months old!
Why offer curry to your baby?
You might be wondering why offer curry to your baby – after all, aren’t curries spicy? Well, they don’t have to be! Curries can be fragrant and delicious without any heat and they can be jam packed full of healthy ingredients that your baby will love!
Can the whole family enjoy this baby curry recipe?
Absolutely! This recipe is suitable for the whole family, but is it’s predominately a baby curry recipe because it doesn’t contain any salt or chillis.
Feel free to add these baby-unfriendly ingredients once you’ve dished up baby’s portion. Stir in chilli flakes and a dash of salt to add more heat and flavour!
Which fresh ingredients can be swapped for frozen ones?
You can replace many of the fresh ingredients for frozen including:
- onions

How do you serve this curry recipe to your baby?
When your baby is at the younger end of the weaning scale, you’ve got two options.
If you’re baby led weaning, you can drop the baby curry and rice on their tray and let them have a go at feeding themselves, using their hands.
Dexter started by eating the curry with his hands to using a spoon or a fork by the age of 17 months. We didn’t introduce cutlery until he was around 10 months old and it took him until he was 1.5 to use it confidently.
If you’re traditional weaning, then you can spoon feed this curry to your baby. be sure to mash/puree it depending on what stage your baby is at.

Can this baby curry recipe be made in the slow cooker?
Absolutely! I love using my slow cooker during the winter months to prepare this baby curry recipe so it’s ready and waiting when I return from a long day at the office.
Simply bung all the ingredients into the slow cooker and leave it on low for 6-8 hours.
What slow cooker do you use?
I have this Crock Pot easy-clean slow cooker which has a removable pot which can be bunged into the dishwasher after each use!
Can this baby curry recipe be batch prepared and frozen?
Yes! You can make a big batch of this baby curry recipe and freeze it in small pots to serve whenever you like!
I recommend storing it for no longer than one month in the freezer and making sure it is thoroughly defrosted in the fridge for 24 hours before serving to baby.
What if I’m dairy-free?
You can replace the yoghurt with a dairy free option such as coconut milk or indeed remove it entirely!
I stumbled it woo! And looks delish!!!
