A mother is a confused Chef..

Hellooooo friends….
As a mother, i want to ask some questions to all of you..Are you satisfied with your child’s diet? Are you always worried about your child’s nutrition? Are you a stressed mother whose child is a fussy eater…If yes, then you are a mother with so much confusions in her mind..and If No, then you are a perfect mother whose mind is free and satisfied totally with your child’s wishes…

Myself, a mother of a super fussy eater..my mind has always one thought..Now wat should i try to make my toddler happy with good food…? Now i am a confused mother whose mind is full of differents recipes and choices.

Here are two recipes which i think can be helpful to all confused mothers like me..

Besan ka halwa

Ingredients

Besan/ Gram flour – 1/2 cup

Sugar – 1/2 cup

Water – 3/4 cup

Ghee – 2/3 tablespoons

Almonds – 4/5 (thin sliced pieces)

Method to prepare

1. Add ghee and besan in non stick pan and stir continuously untill it seems to be roasted and lil bit brown coloured, approx for 8/10 mints on low fame.
2. You can add cardamom powder for the nice flavour/taste.
3. Now Add water and mix thoroughly so that it doesn’t form lumps.
4. Add sugar..continue cooking and stirring it.
5. Add almonds and continue stirring untill the halwa thickens, once the halwa starts leaving the sides of the pan and begins to seperate ghee, its cooked through.
6. Garnish with some your toddler favourite nuts and it is ready to serve.

 Next recipe is from Summer’s favourite fruit – Mango

Sweet Mango chutney

Mango is the favourite fruit for me and my daughter. You can give your child mango as it is or with some twists..you can give him/her mango milkshakes or mango icecream/puddings etc.
