- Put all the ingredients for the paste into a food processor and blitz to a fine paste.
- Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or casserole dish and fry half the paste (freeze the rest, see tip) for 2 mins, stirring constantly. Mix 400ml boiling water with the grated ginger then tip in with the coconut milk, and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken breasts for 10 mins, then add the vegetables and cook for 5 mins more.
- Remove the chicken and shred using two forks, or slice thinly. Add it back into the curry and stir. Serve with basmati rice.
Tip: Gently mash the vegetables or blitz the curry with a handheld blender or food processor to suit your baby’s ability.
Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Freeze portions, not including rice, in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Defrost fully in the fridge before reheating until piping hot. Freeze the remaining paste for up to 3 months to make another batch in the future. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
