Ojas these days is in a state where he wants to eat everything on his own, so I am trying to innovate in foods which he can eat on his own... the top of the list is Paranthas... here is one I figured out and everyone loved
Ingredients
1.5 cup atta (use whole wheat or I used the pillsbury multi grain atta)
1/2 cup sweet corn kernel parboiled and crushed
1/2 onion chopped
1 bunch palak leaves chopped
1 bunch methi leaves chopped
1/2 tsp ajwain seeds
1 tsp oil
salt to taste
pinch of red chilli powder
some mozzarella cheese
u can add green chillies if kids are not eating
Method
1. Knead all ingredients apart from cheese together to make dough
2. With the dough roll out small chapathi and stuff with cheese
3.fold and roll again
4. fry both sides using oil/ghee or butter whatever ur child prefers
serve with curd
this is very good dish for the dieting people too, just avoid the cheese and fry without oil...

spinach and corn sandwich
Ok! This is the first time I am putting across a recipe (am not much of a cook anyway), so I really dont think I can put measures like you women! :( But experienced Mommy's and cooks that you are, am sure your andaaza will work just fine! :)
Kabir still doesn't have teeth, but that doesnt stop him from tasting everything we eat! :)
So here goes!
Ingredients
Palak (you know how less palak becomes after being cooked, so take quantity accordingly)
Sweet Corn - Fresh/frozen - a small handful.
Mayonnaise - I use Fun Foods garlic Mayo.
Salt to taste
What Next?
Finely chop the washed Palak leaves and pressure cook with little water for approx 2 whistles. Keep the sweet corn in warm water for 5 mins to thaw and soften naturally (this applies to frozen corn, never used fresh).
Drain excess water from palak, add a spoonful of mayo, sweet corn and salt to taste and mix well. Toast brown bread as per your liking and spread the filling between 2 slices of bread.
Your palak and corn sandwich is ready! Ketchup not reccoed unless you can't eat sandwich without it! :)
