My daughters are fond of Idlis (thank god) so I usually have some scope to do a variation. I so wanted to feed beetroot and spinach to them and just thought about having some fun and colorful mini idlis.
So I finally hit the kitchen with my mission IDLI KABABS. I also involved my daughters in making them and they had a great time. It was a fun and healthy project which was successful and worth every effort.
Finally, a grin on my face when my daughter’s relished it with love even more because they had put in that little effort in preparing them. It is very simple… healthy and a creative recipe that can be fed to your kids with a healthy dose of love.
