| Sukhadi |
Nowadays whenever Megh feels hungry he makes his favorite 'Sukhadi' ( a traditional Gujarati sweet ). I never made it but he has seen Nikhil making it 2-3 times and now prepares delicious Sukhadi! It's quick recipe and Nikhil makes sometimes on children's demand. But for not yet 7 year old working with gas stove, mixing ghee & wheat flour, finally quickly & thoroughly mixing everything after adding jaggery and finally pouring in plate!...he don't like anybody's help but take my permission before making it as I told him he will prepare when someone else is in kitchen. Usually my mom supervises. As he like soft Sukhadi he adds milk.

A dog face Roti!

Many a times he helps me in kitchen. Today I was preparing Handi Paneer and he was with me.... grated ginger, washed tomato, made paneer pieces. When onion turned golden brown - " it's ready-it's turned golden like Hermoine's hair!"..... nothing out of Harry Potter magic!
Though he helps me, he likes making things independently. Roti with extra ghee is his special, garlic bread breakfast then Megh will do it, if you are our guest then he will prepare nimbu sharbat or tea for you.
Along with some delicious treat we have to be ready for some recipe with strange combination of ingredients. He is already making many different Ukala (potion) by boiling different herbs. Once he prepared a potion using cardamom, cinnamon and clove and it was nice mouth freshener! Now Harry Potter added magical effects to making of potions!
So, cooking is lot of fun and learning together and like most homeschoolers we too enjoy time and freedom in kitchen. We try making different recipes together too... but it's great when child is independent in preparing own healthy food.
