This is a very easy peasy recipe with only three ingredients. This Chutney Powder for babies/toddlers is my own tried and tested recipe and is perfect for babies above 7 months and toddlers. The chutney powder which we use for dosa and idlis are very spicy and has many ingredients which may not be suitable for babies. ย
