After Trying Cauliflower-Peas Milky Curry, Kuttu started liking gravies that are light in color, yeah, you read it right, according to him, if it is light in color it is mild in Spice!!! So now-a-days i try to cook his type of Side-dish for the weekends, so he can relish it relaxed. If your kiddo too enjoys a lesser spice dish, try this out, he/she will definitely enjoy and you will be making this often like me.
