Making kids eat greens would be a great prob. Though I haven’t experienced this yet, I have seen my nephew throwing out all curry leaves (coz they are greens… troubling his sambar rice ) I believe adding potatoes (Most of the kids adore this veggie) would be a good idea to make kids eat the greens too… With this hope, am sending this recipe to Pavani’s Cooking for Kids - Leafy greens event which is the brain child of Sharmi
