Mild spices such as jeera (cumin) powder, dhaniya (coriander) powder, turmeric, and hing (asafoetida) can be introduced as early as 6.5 to 7 months. Start by adding a tiny pinch to familiar foods like dal, rice, or curd to enhance flavor and help with digestion. Introduce only one new spice at a time to monitor your baby's response and ensure they tolerate the new flavors well.
