      Hi Yogita,

      For 10 months old salt should not be added and spices has to be reduced and individual ingredients has to be introduced first. There are different recipes for 10 months old in this website dear. Here is the link to help you with selecting the best cooking oil for your baby. Link – https://goo.gl/QrH4HH

          If you have introduced all the ingredients separately, you can give to the baby. And do not add salt /garam masala etc according to the little one’s age. However there are many many recipes for 7 months old, do check food chart of this age on the site.
