The first solid food that kids are served with rice mixed with dal and ghee. Spicy food is good for health. Serve kids with hot spicy nutritious healthy food. Kids are our future. Healthy body healthy mind is true. Cheese I never saw in Tamilnadu years ago, now everyone is cheese crazy. Cheese and dal are good sources of protein. Bell pepper is everyone's favorite. It is also loaded with rich nutrients. This aromatic, spicy, and flavourful dish is for kids as well as for adults #TR
