Beetroot Potato Puree Recipe for Babies

10 Comments


Beetroot potato puree makes a yummy meal for babies after the completion of six months.

After introducing the veggie puree separately, 2 or 3 veggies can be combined together to make a yummy meal. Already I have posted potato puree, this is also similar to potato puree, the reason why I combined both is that the fiber in the beet will compensate for the gaseous tendency of potato.
In a similar way Carrot Potato puree, Carrot Beet Potato Puree can also be made.

Please don’t forget to follow the 3 Day Rule before starting any new food, in this case, please ensure that you have already given beetroot and potato separately before combining them together.

When Can I give my Baby Beetroot?

Beetroot can be given after introducing all the first foods, it can be given after completion of 6 months.

Beetroot Potato Puree Recipe for Babies

  • Half Potato
  • Half Beetroot

Method
1. Cut a medium sized beetroot and potato into a half.

3. Chop them into small cubes.

4. Place them in a katori and inside a pressure cooker filled with water.



5. Allow 2 to 3 whistles.

6. Switch off the flame and remove the katori.

7. Since the beetroot was not cooked soft, I ran the beet and potato in a blender. Some types of beetroot cook nicely others don’t, if it is cooked to a soft consistency, you can mash them with a thick spoon or masher.


8. If it is thick in consistency, add breastmilk or formula feed to make it runny. A pinch of jeera powder can also be added for improving the flavor.

9. Beetroot Potato Puree is ready!!!
