Toddler Food Veggies and Chicken Curry with White Rice | 12 Months and Above | 200g

Picture a cozy evening in your Irish kitchen, the comforting aroma of coconut milk and ginger wafting through the air as your toddler eagerly taps their spoon on the table. Hug in a Bowl’s Veggies and Chicken Curry with White Rice is here to turn mealtime into a flavorful journey. Designed for little ones 12 months and older, this dish combines tender Irish chicken thighs, fluffy basmati rice, and a medley of vibrant veggies—broccoli, carrots, and potatoes—all simmered in a creamy coconut milk curry infused with ginger and aromatic herbs. Each spoonful is a harmony of textures—soft chicken melts on the tongue, rice grains add a gentle chew, and veggies pop with natural sweetness, inviting tiny hands to explore.

We’ve crafted this curry to nurture growing independence: the creamy coconut base comforts new eaters, while tender chicken and rice encourage chewing practice. Our secret? Slow-cooking onions, ginger, and herbs until they infuse the dish with a depth of flavor that feels like a warm hug—simple, wholesome, and brimming with love.

Short on time? Heat in just 3 minutes (stovetop or microwave), giving you moments to steal a deep breath or join their messy, joyful exploration. When your little one leans in for “more,” you’ll know they’re savoring protein for strong muscles, vitamin C for immunity, and wholesome fuel for their next big adventure.
