Lentil Bake is flawless as a major aspect of a principle dinner yet additionally as a major aspect of a pressed lunch. Incredible for children everything being equal and awesome for infant drove weaning

Lentils and yam seldom included in my eating regimen before having children. Presently they appear to be a week by week staple and I'm continually exploring different avenues regarding better approaches to serve them. Both Finn and Rory love them, I realize that on the off chance that I make something with both of these fixings that it will for the most part be a hit with them. This Curried Lentil Bake is no special case.

This dish is comprised of lentils, vegetables, yam and eggs, making it nutritious, delectable and simple for infants to eat.
