ANOTHER DAY,ANOTHER MEAL … CAULIFLOWER AND SWEET POTATO CURRY

DINNER RECIPE


ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL …

CAULIFLOWER AND SWEET POTATO CURRY:

We love curry in my house and luckily for us so does Chloe. Now that she is one year old I can make a kids version of the curry that we eat, which makes the cooking so much easier.

Hope that your baby will like it as well.


Ingredients:

– 100g chicken

– 150g cauliflower

– 1/2 onion

– 200ml tomatoes

– 200ml of coconut milk

– 2tsp of mild curry powder

– 2 sweet potatoes

– 1 tbsp of basil

– 1 tsp ginger (cut in to very small cubes)

Cooking method :

Peal and slice sweet potato; steam until soft*

Fry your onion on a little bit of olive oil for 3 minutes. Add chicken and curry powder, fry for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile wash your cauliflower and blend it in the food processor (if your baby/child is older you can divide it in to small florets instead).

Add cauliflower in to the curry and simmer for another 10minutes. At the end add basil.

Cut sweet potatoes in small cubes and combine with the curry.

Your dinner is ready to serve!

* I like to cook potatoes separately by steaming to preserve more nutritions and because it’s so much easier to cut them in small cubes once they are cooked.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL …RICE AND APPLE BAKE

DESERT RECEPE

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL…

RICE AND APPLE BAKE

My mum used to make it for us all the time. This can be serve as a snack, supper or a desert.

You can make a very healthy version of it or just healthy one. What is important is make lots of it as the whole family will want to eat it.

Ingredients :

– 1kg of sweet apples

– 250g of brown and wild rice mix (this can be replaced by white rice)

– 1 vanilla flavour actimel

– 400ml of milk (this can be replaced by water)

– 1tsp cinnamon

Cooking method :

Heat up your oven to 200C.

Cook rice in milk following cooking instruction on the packet.


Peal and grate all apples.

Prepare round, 30cm cake tin by coating it in a very thin layer of butter. Put half of your rice in to the cake tin, then add your apples and cover it with the remaining rice. Pour over actimel.


Bake for 20 minutes.

Dish is ready to serve straight away, hope that your kids will enjoy it as much as me and Chloe did.
