Kids will love this dish, frozen mixed vegetable seems palatable to them. On top of that, toasted hard roll or bread dices are so crispy. Alternatively, you may use bread croutons. By adding potatoes, this makes a wonderfully simple dish to attract the kid to fall in love with vegetables.

Idea: heat oil, add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, dahl. (this is an indian seasoning blend, mix lots of cumin seeds, mustard seeds and dahl together, then use like 1 tsp of this blend)
ReplyDeleteThen add the veggies. Add salt, a little turmeric, some chilli powder.
Done. That's just my idea, cause my indian friends's mom fries fantastic cauliflower with this method, so I thought it'll work.
Try it! I wanted to try it out on cauliflower.
Thank you so much, Mel. I give it a try.
ReplyDeleteCheers :)
Oh sorry. I forgot. Add a few curry leaves too. Where can I buy curry leaves?
ReplyDeleteCurry leaves, okie, no problem.
ReplyDeleteSupermarket, you can get them. Wet market - veg stall, 10-20 cents is a lot.
Just hold the end of the sprig with your thumb and finger, and then there you go - just "run along" to the end. The leaves will drop automatically, very fast and fun.
Cheer :)
