Baby Food Veggies and Chicken Curry with White Rice | 9 to 12 Months | 180g

Imagine the gentle hum of a kitchen at dusk, the aroma of ginger and coconut milk curling through the air as your little one watches you stir a pot with wide-eyed curiosity. With Hug in a Bowl’s Veggies and Chicken Curry, you’re not just serving dinner—you’re inviting your baby on a flavorful journey. Tender Irish chicken thighs mingle with organic carrots, broccoli, and potatoes in a creamy coconut milk sauce, all nestled over fluffy basmati rice. Each spoonful is a dance of soft textures and mild spices, designed for tiny hands and growing taste buds.

We simmer the chicken until it falls apart at the touch, then fold in vibrant veggies and a whisper of herbs for a curry that’s as nourishing as it is comforting. The coconut milk adds a velvety richness without overwhelming delicate palates, while the rice offers just enough chewiness to encourage gum development. No salt, no shortcuts—just the pure goodness of ingredients chosen to support your baby’s leaps and bounds. And in 3 minutes, it’s ready to serve, leaving you more time for peek-a-boo and first steps.

When your baby smacks their lips and reaches for more, you’ll know they’re getting protein for growth, vitamin C from broccoli, and a world of flavors to spark their love for wholesome foods. Because even curry can be a baby’s comfort food.
