Baby Food Chicken Tikka Masala with Couscous | 9 to 12 Months | 180g

Picture a vibrant family dinner, your little one’s eyes lighting up as they experience the aromatic spices of a homemade classic. With Hug in a Bowl’s Chicken Tikka Masala, you’re introducing a world of flavor crafted for tiny palates. This dish combines Irish chicken thighs, roasted butternut squash, fluffy couscous, tomatoes, onions, fresh cream, mango, and a hint of korma sauce. Each spoonful balances creamy richness from fresh cream with soft couscous grains and tender chicken—perfect for babies aged 9 to 12 months exploring textures and self-feeding.

We slow-cook the chicken with aromatic herbs and blend it with roasted squash for natural sweetness, creating a mild tikka masala sauce that’s gentle on sensitive tummies. The couscous adds a playful texture to encourage chewing, while mango lends a touch of fruity brightness. No salt, no preservatives—just wholesome ingredients ready in 3 minutes. Because even adventurous meals should fit into your busy routine.

When your baby reaches for the spoon with messy, determined hands, you’ll know they’re getting protein from chicken, vitamin A from squash, and a taste of culinary exploration. Because every bite can be both nourishing and exciting.
