Here is a way of making our tiny tots eat all the leafy veggies or any veggies they dislike.
The recipe goes this way...
First cook moong dal and rice in 2:1 ratio (ie.2 tblsp of moong dal and 1 tblsp of rice) you could increase the quantity as per ur taste.After these two are half way cooked, add some diced potato along with a bit of salt( add salt only if ur baby prefers) and after the potatoes are nicely cooked along with the rice and dal...add palak or any green veggies along with litle amounts of peas and corn. Then just cook for 5 mins max and close the lid and stop cooking further. After this whole mixture cools off puree in the blender with 1/4th cup of paneer. Finally u can grate a clove of garlic and fry it in butter and add to the blended food(This helps reduction of gas formation) Add this to the puree and mix thoroughly. Its ready to serve!!!
I know this seems a bit tedious but its worth it. Its highly nutritious and is very tasty too. Just substitute it with any veggie combination you prefer. I hope this helps!!!
