If your kids / grown-ups do not eat vegetables


Children are very fussy about eating gourds and pumpkins (Kaddu, lauki, tinda, turai, petha), arvi and other such vegetables. These, combined with carrots, beans and tomatoes can be used to make the following :

1. BHAAJI can be made from ( finely chopped, boiled and mashed ) all kinds of veggies and eaten with pav or bread roasted on griddle with ghee (Children can afford to eat ghee).

2. MANCHURIAN BALLS made from chopped/grated vegetables of the sort.

3. STOCK (the nutritious water got by boiling vegetables) can be used to make :

Gravies of Manchurian, koftas or any other curry the child loves to eat.
Dough for chappathis.
Rice, fried rice, biryani.
Sambhar, Upma, Chilli paneer etc.
Batter to make idlis, chillas, dosas, utthappams etc.

4. VEG. FOR SALADS can be grated, mixed with cream or hung curd and used for sandwiches
