My kids love spicy food and cant do without it, and if for a day i plan to change the menu to light meals, they'll fuss and wont have their food. I guess all moms are aware of this nature side of their kids and they'll rather try to stick to what the kids love. If your from India, you might understand what i mean right? But spicy food isn't that unhealthy after all so here is a recipe prepared with soy chunks and lot of spice but really nutritious and healthy for the kids. I love soya chunks(nutrela) which is rich in protein and we have it as a substitute if meat isn't available. Moms just sit down to a table served with hot spicy nutrela and rice with kids after school, they'll love it! If you are already scared of the read fiery color in the image! don't worry it's just the tomato ketchup :)
