Kid's Delight-Deceptively Delicious Roundup

First and foremost, big Thank you to Valli for giving me the opportunity to host Kid's Delight event. Thank you to all of you for sending in 'deceptively delicious' entries. Finally my apologies for delaying the round up for this long.

I asked all of you to send me dishes that are "deceptively delicious", so the kids are happy that they are eating something yummy and the moms are happy that they fed them something delicious. I received a total of 45 entries and I've almost all of them bookmarked to try very soon. I loved the way how some of the everyday dishes have been cleverly interpreted to make them more appealing to kids. Without further ado, here's the list of entries:

Salads: 

Kalyani @ Mom Chef made this awesome Tandoori tofu salad. The dish looks so colorful, I'm sure kids and adults would love to have this dish.

Breakfast Ideas: Dosas/ Parathas/ Pancakes/ Puris:

Gayatri also sent these cute looking heart shaped pooris with mullu murungai leaves. These leaves apparently  have medicinal values and using them in puris sure makes them appealing to kids.

Harini @ Tamalapaku sent these healthy & delicious Palak Parathas or parathas with spinach in them. Lovely way to incorporate healthy greens into kids meals.
