Ingredients

  • 1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fully cooked, soft millet
  • 2 tbsp plain, unsweetened pasteurised full-fat yoghurt
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Preparation

  1. Steam the sliced carrot until it crushes easily with a fork. Use the fully cooked, tender millet specified in the ingredient list; if starting from dry millet, cook it separately according to its packet and allow additional time.

  2. Blend or mash warm carrot and already-cooked millet with a little safe water if needed until moist and spoonable. Allow to cool.

  3. Stir in plain pasteurised unsweetened full-fat yogurt and olive oil. Check for firm grains, hard carrot pieces or thick dry clumps, then serve promptly.

Serving by Age

Offer as a moist smooth spoon-fed bowl, progressing to a soft thicker mash when the baby manages more texture. All millet grains and carrot pieces should be fully tender.

8 months+

This recipe is listed for 8–12 months, so the 6m+ field does not recommend serving it earlier. Within the listed age range and when your baby can manage the texture, blend thoroughly to a moist smooth texture only if developmentally appropriate.

9 months+

Fully tender millet and soft carrot blended with pasteurised yoghurt; no hard grains.
