First Foods: Butternut squash with cumin

This is a wonderful recipe when you start weaning your baby. I know butternut squash isn't an 'Indian vegetable' but since we live in London I want to provide recipes that are accessible. Many baby recipe books use butternut squash as its naturally sweet and full of goodness, this is my Indian version. You could also use sweet potato.

You need:
1/2 butternut squash
1/4 spoon of cumin seeds

1. Peel, remove seeds and dice the butternut squash. Steam the squash in a double boiler. If you dont have a double boiler, then put the squash in a pan and add boiling water till the squash is covered and cook on high with the lid on. Squash doesnt take time to cook, so keep an eye on it.
2. Take a frying pan and put the gas up to med-high. Now add the cumin seeds and let them roast. Once the aromas come through turn the gas off.
3. Now add the squash and cumin seeds (and if you require some water) and put in a blender till smooth.
4. You can freeze leftover portions in ice trays and save for a later date.
