Ingredients
- ½ medium potato, peeled (50g)
- ¼ medium onion, peeled (40g)
- ½ small red pepper, deseeded (55g)
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 1 ½ heaped tbsp plantain, peeled (35g)
- 170g large cod (1 large)
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 150ml water
- ½ tsp curry powder
- 135g tinned chopped tomatoes
- 1 ½ tbsp frozen peas (35g)
- 35g white rice (1 portion)
Method
Dice the potatoes. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes in unsalted water until cooked. Then drain.
Meanwhile, chop the onions, peppers, garlic and plantain. Cut the fish into chunks, removing any bones.
Heat the oil in a pan, add the onions and peppers and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in garlic, water, curry powder, tomatoes and plantain. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the peas, fish and potatoes. Cook gently for a further 5 to 10 minutes until the fish is cooked.
In the meantime, bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the rice for 15 to 20 minutes. Then drain.
Serve quarter of the fish curry in a bowl with the rice.
Try serving with brown rice sometimes, instead of white.
Weaning tip
Give your baby sips of water with their meals - rather than sweet drinks which can cause tooth decay.
