As per the advice of my pediatrician, I started
introducing chicken,mutton and fish to my son in his 9th month onwards.
The baby care differs with each pediatrician, so consult with your
pediatrician once before you can introduce any new heavy food stuffs. If
they are advisable to introduce here is a recipe you can go with.Very
simple,plain and tasty too....
Also refer baby care space for more vegetarian infant recipes.
When introducing for the first time just boil the mutton pieces with turmeric powder, curry leaves and feed the soup. Then
gradually increase the below ingredients.

Note :
- Avoid the pepper and garlic when introducing the soup initially.
