Chicken Tikka Masala is one of the most popular curries in both Ireland and the UK. I have no doubt about it, because this particular Healthy Chicken Tikka Masala is the MOST popular recipe on Baby Led Feeding since I started.\u00a0 It is my kids favourite dish of all time and this week they have been hounding me to make it again for them. So! I decided to reshoot it, and to do a video too! Whoop. I don’t know why I didn’t do one before.<\/p>\n

Is it o.k to give a baby spices?<\/h2>\n

Chicken Tikka Masala is creamy, packed full of flavour and perfect as a baby led weaning dinner recipe. The best part is babies love it and while you may not think a curry is a good recipe for a 6 month old baby, I promise it is amazing! Curry is a great way to introduce aromatic spices, not spicy hot ones, but spices like cumin, coriander and turmeric.<\/p>\n

As parents we think babies need to start eating boiled chicken pureed with avocado or vegetables but in Asian countries all over the world, spice is introduced right from an early age.<\/p>\n

\"Baby<\/p>\n

Do spices pass through breastmilk?<\/h2>\n

If you are a breastfeeding Momma, and you also love curry, then your baby has already has tastes of spices, because it does it fact pass through breastmilk. It’s the same way if you eat lots of beans, your baby might be gassy \ud83d\ude42 We’ve all been there.<\/p>\n

If I was to have one tagline in life, I actually think it would be ‘Aileen Cox Blundell – She loves curry’ (or something in that vain). In all seriousness though (and I take curry very, very seriously) it is\u00a0my favourite meal\u00a0in the world. When we go camping, I bring curry to reheat. When I bring a dish for dinner, it will always be a curry and when my friends come over for diner… yes you’ve guessed it, your getting curry. My husband and I loved curry so much that when we got hitched we\u00a0backpacked through the west coast of India, just for the food alone!<\/p>\n

Chicken Tikka Masala – how do you give meat to a baby?<\/h2>\n

You have 2 options when cooking, in a large saucepan which is what I usually do, or alternatively you can use a slow-cooker and make a crock pot curry recipe instead.<\/p>\n
