From day one, I made sure that the kids ate whatever we ate! That means no making seperate meal that are less spicy, not desi etc…I am not a short order cook! I have a 5 bite minimum rule. You must take at least 5 bites, chew and swallow before you are allowed to leave the table. If you choose not to eat what is cooked, too bad…so sad. Staying hungry one night will not do any harm!

Alhamdullilah, all three of my boys are foodies…especially desi khaana foodies. Ibrahim & Ammar would eat nihari & haleem every day of the week if I let them. They like to dips slices of kacha pyaz in the nihari and eat it..lol! And Jibran is a self imposed vegetarian..he eats very little meat…his favorite meal is daal chanwal, daal roti…daal anyway he can get it…I’ve learned that kids actually have very sophisticated palates…there is no reason they can’t eat like we do from an early age on…

Thats great, good job!!! :k:
