USING SPICES IN CHILDRENS FOOD . . Thank you for all those that tuned in to our weaning Q&A live yesterday with @annabelkarmel yesterday. I’m sorry if we didn’t answer all your questions - there were so many! Pls do feel free to ask them in comments below and I’ll answer them. . . One question that cropped up was the use of spices in children’s cooking. As a NHS GP, I work with families and children including an incredibly diverse ethnicity population. Its interesting how different cultures view their childrens’ diets particularly when it comes to the addition of spices. Some of my patients wouldn’t bat an eyelid at adding a variety of spices to their child’s weaning journey. Others, are surprised at my suggestion, associating spice with chilli 🌶, fire or heat 🔥 rather than flavour. . . I’m delighted to have teamed up with the lovely Lucy @childrensdietitian to dispel some of the myths surrounding the addition of spices to your child’s diet. We created this FREE ebook download last year. Your summary of how and why you should be introducing a variety of spices into your child’s diet. You can download it for FREE VIA THE LINK IN MY BIO ❤️ . . Not only do we discuss how this benefits a child’s eating habits and behaviours long term, we also share tips for how to go about introducing change as well as quick and easy recipes for you to try. . . We hope you will enjoy it! If you do download it, please do leave us some feedback and a review... it’s so helpful for us - Thank you 🙏🏽 Chintal x . . . . . #drchintalskitchen #spices #turmeric #paprika #kidsfood #kidscooking #fussyeaters #kidsfood #toddlerrecipes #toddlerapproved #cinnamon #ebook #cookbook #free #healthykidsrecipes #healthyrecipesforkids #pickyeaters #wholefoods #yum #cumin #indianfood #feedingkids #kidfriendlyfood #whatmybabyeats #whatmykidseat #feedingtoddlers #toddlermealideas #babyledweaningideas #babyledweaning

CHICKPEA PANCAKES . . Since the beginning of lockdown we have been lucky to have the most amazing Indian food made for us by grandparents ❤️...

My top tip - if you want crispy pancakes grate the veggies or chop super finely . . My kids like these with a small dollop of ketchup 🤷🏻‍♀️ to dip them in but I love them with my coriander & mint chutney (search #dckindianfood for the recipe) or use @nanaschutneys coriander chutney - it’s delicious! . . Recipe: makes 10 . . 300gms chickpea flour (besan/gram flour) 400mls water approx -adjust according to the veggies used for a thick batter 1.5 teaspoons turmeric handful coriander - finely chopped 1 small red onion finely chopped 300-500gms of baby veggies of choice all finely chopped or grated (I used baby corn, spinach leaves, courgettes, asparagus, broccoli & green beans) Salt to taste Oil to fry Simple mix the flour, turmeric, salt & water to form a batter. Add in the veggies and stir well. Spray a pan with oil Spread about 3 tablespoons of batter as thin as possibly and fry on a medium heat for a few minutes each side Adjust the heat to cook through but not burn the pancakes . . . . #drchintalskitchen #pancakes #f52community #savourypancakes #healthybreakfast #breakfastideas #healthybreakfastideas #yum #indianfood #indian #indianrecipes #vegetarianrecipes #veganrecipe #easyrecipes #glutenfreefood #glutenfreerecipes #dairyfreefood #pudla #chickpeapancakes #veggies #eatyourveggies #chickpeas #indianrecipes #foodie #quickmeals #wholefoods #pb #wfpb

When I saw this recipe on my friend @gayatriisingh ‘s blog (check out her page & blog for some really amazing recipes btw) I knew I had to try it!
