When you expose your child to a wide variety of tastes, textures and flavours you help set them up for a lifetime of healthy eating habits. This curry is mild, but full of flavour. We used Squish 100% Butternut + Carrot Puree<\/strong>, but you could vary the flavour by trying any of the Squish 100% Veg flavours, including Mixed Vegetable<\/strong>; Sweet Potato, Apple + Cinnamon;<\/strong> or Apple, Sweet Potato + Sweetcorn<\/strong>.

Take off the heat and stir through the Squish puree. Serve with cooked rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TIP:<\/strong> No time to cook rice? Roll the curry up in a soft tortilla wrap or pop into a mini pita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 VEGGIE-PACKED COTTAGE PIE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This cottage pie recipe is super-versatile \u2013 and you can even make it totally vegetarian!
