Feeding R is the toughest job as
yet. The day she eats properly at least once or twice, I really feel great. One
can compare this achievement with that of conquering Mt. Everest.
What not I do to feed her!!! Watching
Cartoon Shows to Bal Ganesh to Chkini Chameli, playing with water, adding new
flavors to everyday’s dish and what not! Still my daughter’s prompt reaction to her
plate is ‘R khabe na’ (R will not eat). Imagine! After your day long tiring
sessions you come back and try to prepare the tastiest dish, with high hopes
you serve and the little devil says that she’ll not eat. Anyway, I’m the mother.
I place her on my lap and sit in front of the TV or the laptop with any of the
shows that she has not watched for at least few days or start creating stories
of all imaginary creatures. As she’s amused with either of the things I start
feeding her. There are some days when things go smoothly and she finishes her
plate without any tantrums. Then there are few days when she’s adamant and
nothing can make her eat.
Last night was one such when she finished her dalia with Tofu/
Soya meat, Red Bell pepper, Corn and Mushroom Soup. To my surprise she had even
asked for another helping of the soup.
The recipe is very easy and it takes hardly 30 to 40 minutes
to make it.

Hey Debasri, this recipe sure sounds easy and apparently healthy too! I could so relate with your predicament regarding feeding your daughter. I have a 3 yr old who takes more than an hour to feed at every meal time!!!!Always loved cooking though and therefore started my own blog. Do drop in when you have time at bongcomb.wordpress.com
