How to Prepare a Meal That Your Child Will Enjoy

As a mother of a three-year-old, I’ve always been concerned about my child’s diet and nutrition. It’s common to hear that toddlers often don’t eat full portions, and I’ve seen many parents, including myself, try various strategies to get their kids to eat. From consulting grandparents and pediatricians to experimenting with new recipes and presenting food in fun ways, it sometimes feels like a never-ending quest.

Recently, I discovered a simple yet traditional recipe that my toddler loves: French toast with a nutritious twist.

Nutritious French Toast Recipe

Ingredients:

1 egg
2 teaspoons Grans Desi Shakkar (crushed jaggery)
1 teaspoon fresh cream
A splash of milk
1 slice of bread
Grans Desi Ghee (clarified butter) for frying

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, crack the egg and whisk it well. Add Grans Desi Shakkar, fresh cream, and milk. Mix thoroughly.
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a small amount of Grans Desi Ghee. Dip the slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-soaked.
Place the coated bread slice onto the heated pan. Fry until each side is golden brown.

Utilize Leftovers: If you have leftover egg mixture, you can use it to make an additional toast or transform it into a sweet scrambled egg by cooking it gently in the pan, stirring continuously.

This meal has been a game-changer, providing me with much-needed relief. The secret ingredient is Grans Desi Shakkar, which adds a delightful flavor and a range of essential nutrients.

Here’s a breakdown of the nutrients found in jaggery and their benefits for your child:

- Iron: Desi Shakkar is an excellent source of iron, which helps prevent anemia and improves blood circulation.

- Calcium: It supports the development of strong bones and teeth.

- Magnesium: It aids in muscle and nerve function, regulates blood sugar levels, and promotes cardiovascular health.

- Potassium: Essential for maintaining electrolyte balance, it supports heart and kidney function.

- Phosphorus: Important for bone and tooth health, phosphorus also contributes to energy production.

- Vitamin B6: It supports brain health and neurotransmitter production.

- Antioxidants: Jaggery contains antioxidants that combat free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.

This nourishing twist on French toast has made mealtime easier and more enjoyable for both my child and me.

Don’t forget, this meal includes egg, cream, and desi ghee, along with desi shakkar adding significant nutritional value and making it exceptionally wholesome.
