Kids require all macronutrients to maintain sustained energy levels throughout the day. And the best way to sneak vegetables into their meals is by making a paratha. Whether you knead a dough with protein-rich dal, grated paneer, or a mix of potatoes, cauliflowers, and onions, you can make and serve parathas at any time of the day. Cook the paratha till golden brown on Usha’s infrared cooktop and pair it with a bowl of curd, and you’ll get a healthy meal faster than ever.
Multigrain Sandwiches
Sandwiches are another kid-friendly way to sneak in vegetables that the picky eaters would otherwise refuse to eat. All you need to do to make a sandwich is take some slices of multigrain bread, spread some ghee or butter on them and toast them on an induction-safe tawa. Then, add chopped vegetables like onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, sweet corn, cubed paneer, etc. Sandwich the filling with another toasted bread and serve with tomato ketchup.

Soya Keema
The best way to introduce a protein source other than paneer to your kids is through soya keema. To make it at home, take a pack of soya granules and soak them for about fifteen minutes. While you leave the granules to soak, chop some onions, green chillies and sauté them on Usha’s infrared cooktop. Once the onions are translucent, add the soaked granules with your go-to spices. Simmer till the granules are fully cooked, garnish with coriander leaves, and let your kids enjoy a new high-protein sabzi.
Rajma Chawal

Rajma chawal is a comfort food for all ages. Made with kidney beans, the North Indian staple is something you can make for your growing kids over and over again. Kidney beans, when cooked in a classic onion-tomato gravy base along with spices like garam masala, red chilli powder, dhania powder, turmeric, etc, result in an aromatic serving of rajma. Paired with fluffy jeera rice and served with a bowl of raita, the combo is a hit for all the right reasons. And the best part is, when cooked on an infrared cooktop, the time required for kidney beans to soften is reduced, and you can make rajma chawal more frequently.
Palak Paneer
If your kids love paneer, the best way to introduce spinach is through palak paneer. Rich in iron, adding spinach to a growing child’s diet is extremely beneficial. And with paneer simmered in a gravy made with blended spinach leaves, tomato puree, cream, and a blend of spices, your kids are sure to empty their plates. Just pair palak paneer with a namak-mirch paratha, and you can even pack the healthy meal for your child’s tiffin.
