Smoothies
Karuppu Ulunthu Beetroot Milk Smoothie for Toddlers
Bright pink, naturally sweet, and packed with iron. Our most-watched recipe.
Baby Food
Ragi, Dates and Carrot Baby Food (No Added Sugar)
Naturally sweet, filling and nutritious. The dates do the sweetening, so no sugar goes in.
Drinks
Paruthi Paal (Madurai Cotton Seed Milk)
Madurai's traditional hot drink — cotton seed milk, jaggery, coconut and cardamom.
Sides
Tomato Onion Chutney for Idli and Dosa
Tangy, smooth and keeps a day longer than coconut chutney. The hot-weather choice.
Drinks
Pomegranate and Apple Juice for Kids
Fresh fruit, three cashews, no sugar. What packet juice pretends to be.
Sides
Yellow Pumpkin Kootu (Parangikai Kootu)
Soft, mild and slightly sweet. One of the few side dishes toddlers eat without argument.
