Mummy Cooks Top Tips

• Turmeric and Curry Powder are suitable to be introduced to your baby from 6 months of age.

• Once you have finished making your curry, serve straight away with some basmati rice, or divide up into Mummy Cooks Portion Pots to label and freeze. 

• Allow to fully defrost in the fridge before reheating until piping hot.

• If serving to a baby, soak your lentils before hand to avoid your baby getting wind.
