Transitioning to spicy family meals can be done slowly. You can start by setting aside a small portion for your toddler with minimal or no spice and gradually introducing small amounts of mild spices like black pepper or cumin. Another effective method is to mix their food with plain rice, ghee, or a bit of curd to dilute the heat. Over time, you can incrementally increase the spice level as their palate adjusts, making separate meal preparation unnecessary.
