Baby Food Chickpea Curry with White Rice (Vegan) | 9 to 12 Months | 180g

Picture a cozy afternoon at home, your curious 9-month-old eyeing your plate while you crave a meal that’s both nourishing and exciting for their budding palate. Enter Hug in a Bowl’s Chickpea Curry—a vegan delight crafted with love. Tender organic chickpeas dance with fluffy basmati rice in a creamy coconut milk sauce kissed by ginger and aromatic curry herbs. Each spoonful is a gentle introduction to global flavors: the earthy sweetness of onions, the warmth of spices, and a texture that’s soft enough for gums yet textured enough to spark chewing confidence. Perfect for little adventurers ready to explore beyond purees!

We simmer chickpeas to buttery perfection and blend them with coconut milk for a luxuriously smooth base, leaving tiny rice grains intact to encourage chewing. No salt, no shortcuts—just the pure magic of plants. And yes, it’s ready faster than you can sing "The Wheels on the Bus" (under 2 minutes!).

When your little one reaches for another bite, you’ll smile knowing they’re getting iron from chickpeas, healthy fats from coconut milk, and a world of flavors to nurture their growing curiosity. Because even vegan meals can taste like a hug.
