    Dear Susri,

    I think you know a Tamil 'pazhamozhi' 'Theen (honey) eaduthavan puram kaiyai naka mal vidu vana":thumbsupSo when we prepare for kids we can also have them.
    Enjoy preparing dishes for kids.

    cooked Veg. and rice

    When you are keeping cooker for others, you keep a small cup for the kid seperately, with dal and rice.
    With this you can keep potato ( always cook potato with salt, sot hat you can give cooked potato to your kid to eat) , carrot, beet root with that.
    Mash with ghee and give.

    Note: you can introduce veg. and greens one by one with rice and dal.
    You can prepare simple rasam and mix with dal and rice and give.
    You can put one garlic in the dal or make seasoning with garlic to make different type of dal and rice mixture to the child. They always like different taste.
