Dal Soup Recipe for Babies

Hi Everyone!

I have a toddler who is really a fussy eater and she needs something new and different every day. Soup is something which she still likes a bit. I am sharing one of the dal soup recipes which I recently made and that was the only thing which she had in the whole day. It’s a very simple recipe and all the ingredients are easily available in the household.

Lentils are one of the main and easy sources of protein and fiber for vegetarians. It’s a very simple recipe and one can experiment with many veggies and the taste of the lentil soup won’t change too.

Ingredients Required for the Dal Soup (For 1 Cup)

• 2 tbsp split yellow gram (moong dal)(One can use masoor dal or split red lentils)
• Salt
• Turmeric
• 1 cup water
• Veggies such as carrot, spinach, bottle gourd(I generally prefer a small piece of carrot, 3-4 spinach leaves etc)
• 1tsp butter/ghee
• 1/4tsp cumin seeds

Method & Preparation

Pressure cook lentils, one veggie of your choice, water, salt and turmeric. Give it two whistles. Mash the dal/lentil or you can strain it for thinner consistency to get the clear dal soup. I generally try to make it a thick soup so that it becomes a wholesome meal. You can add a bit of water to lighten the consistency.

Take a small pan and add butter/ghee into it and 1/4th of cumin seeds. Pour this in the soup.

So a very healthy and nutritious soup is ready to be served 🙂

I know this soup is prepared in a lot of Indian homes but every one has a different method. So do let us know how you make your lentil soup 🙂
