Hi
What do you do when your child especially a teen refuses to eat a particular vegetable, fruit ....You search for recipes that would morph the ingredient in its true nature and give all the goodness associated with it and yet be palatable to their choice. Well one such ingredient is peas and my daughter detests it, dunno why!!!!!
You may ask, why not leave her alone with her choice, well!!one of those compelling MOMMY feelings that you are depriving your child of some precious nutrient.And in search of a peas recipe where the peas is not seen in the final outcome, i saw this particular recipe in TARLA dalal's WEBSITE
