Calcium in that prevents absorption of iron found in Veggies. And even a well eating child can develop iron deficiency.<BR/>The night time milk can be given at least half an hour after dinner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-68406335064708207092008-11-15T00:44:00.000-08:002008-11-15T00:44:00.000-08:00Veena, my apologies.

Add twice the amount of water and pressure cook it until done. Soak the kesar in some warm water and keep it aside for a few minutes so that color is infused in the water. Soak the kishmish also in another vessel with warm water so that it plumps up. In the meantime, bring milk to a boil and add the cooked dalia, sugar to it and stir for a few minutes. Add more milk if the mixture becomes too thick. Let it be of a thick pouring consistency as this tends to becomes more thick when it cools down. Add the elaichi powder; kesar water, kishmish & stir well. You will smell the aroma of the elaichi and kesar infusing into the dalia doodh mixture. Turn off the stove and let it cool a little bit. Decorate it with slivered almonds, a little more kesar and kishmish. Serve warm.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635338401173588786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-1201260465153755792008-11-14T01:14:00.000-08:002008-11-14T01:14:00.000-08:00Excellent job yet again!! :)am gonna try em with C...Excellent job yet again!! :)<BR/><BR/>am gonna try em with Cubby for sure!!<BR/><BR/>cheers!<BR/><BR/>abhaMama - Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06330103540647472728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-965520620013123212008-11-13T22:35:00.000-08:002008-11-13T22:35:00.000-08:00Heeeey....is this applicable for 'big kids' as wel...Heeeey....is this applicable for 'big kids' as well :P?Chitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01660142339863334706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-89821653850566507422008-11-13T20:39:00.000-08:002008-11-13T20:39:00.000-08:00That is so kind of you to share these truly awesom...That is so kind of you to share these truly awesome recipes.

Here are a few ...Thanks for those recipes, Shruthi! Here are a few of my tried and tested ones:<BR/><BR/>Oatmeal variation - add chopped fruits after cooking. Bananas, strawberry and blueberries have worked well with my daughter.<BR/><BR/>Spicy version for oatmeal (more for you than Puttachi, maybe!) - add curd/yogurt to the oatmeal after it is cooked, and mix it with uppinakayi or thokku (any pickle) and eat. <BR/><BR/>Grilled cheese sandwich - spread butter on both sides of two pieces of bread and toast one side on tawa for 3-4 minutes till brown. Place a slice (or two) of American cheese on one slice of bread, and cover with other slice and toast till cheese melts.<BR/><BR/>(veggie option from a book I have- puree cooked carrots and sweet potatoes to paste and spread that on the bread before you toast it, add cheese on top of the veggie mixture to hide the difference if kids are picky about how their food looks.<BR/> <BR/>*** The book is called "The Sneaky Chef" by Missy Chase Lapine; www.thesneakychef.com)<BR/><BR/>A variation of your mashed potato - I mash carrots in with the potatoes, and a spoon or two of baby cereal along with cheese, milk, salt and pepper<BR/>(the cereal is handy to up the iron content in any food, I mix it in with saaru anna and other things as well)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312346875503651682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-10260786056649928092008-11-13T10:01:00.000-08:002008-11-13T10:01:00.000-08:00All r quick n looks yummy too..
