Curried Pea, Potato and Broccoli Purée
This curried pea, potato and broccoli purée is a gently spiced baby food made entirely in the Thermomix. Potato and broccoli are steamed until tender, then blended with sweet frozen peas, a whisper of curry powder and breast milk into a silky, lump-free texture. Ideal for weaning, the TM7 handles every step in one bowl with minimal washing up.
About this recipe
Curried Pea, Potato and Broccoli Purée Thermomix TM7 is a wonderfully simple baby purée recipe that introduces little ones to gentle spice while delivering familiar comfort from potato and broccoli. Parents searching for homemade baby food recipes with their all-in-one kitchen machine will love how the TM7 steams the vegetables until fork-tender, then transforms them with frozen peas into a silky, lump-free purée without transferring to a separate blender. The subtle warmth of curry powder awakens developing taste buds, while breast milk adds familiar comfort and lets you adjust the consistency from thick to flowing. This is ideal lunchtime or weaning-stage food, made in one bowl with almost no washing up. Because the Thermomix blends so evenly, every spoonful has the same creamy texture, and small batches can be portioned into ice cube trays for future meals, making this a practical staple for any baby food routine.
Preparation tips
- Cut the potato into small, even pieces so it steams at the same rate as the broccoli florets, giving an evenly cooked purée without hard bits that babies struggle to swallow.
- Add the breast milk gradually after blending, starting with a small amount, so you can control whether the purée turns spoon-thick or flows easily for a younger baby just starting solids.
- Portion leftovers into sterilised ice cube trays and freeze, then transfer the frozen cubes to a labelled bag so you always have single servings of this pea and broccoli purée ready to defrost.
- Steaming potato and broccoli above the water keeps more of their natural sweetness and nutrients in the vegetables rather than losing it in a boiling pan, which matters for delicate first foods.
- Introduce the curry powder in the tiniest pinch at first; you can always stir a little more into a portion for an older baby who already enjoys stronger flavours.
Recipe variations
- For a dairy-free version suitable for babies with a cow's milk protein sensitivity, simply replace the breast milk with cooled boiled water or an appropriate infant formula until the pea and broccoli purée reaches the desired consistency.
- For a seasonal variation, swap half the frozen peas for steamed carrot or butternut squash in autumn, giving the purée a sweeter, orange hue and a milder flavour that many babies adore.
