14. Healthy dry fruits toast/ paste

This week I have decided to put recipes only dedicated to kids. For my first son I have really had a tough time trying new food and new taste. Today also v difficult to convince him to try out new dishes. I still remember when he was in playschool he used to get his lunch box back without even opening and seeing what is there inside the box but he was v smart in giving reasons for not eating.
So one whole week he did not even bother to open what I had packed and I was so worried went and complained to his teacher and Next day I had packed bread and jam .He came back home and I asked y he did not eat today. Ma so spicy ( kara) it was. y pack only spicy things in my box so I don't eat .
I was wondering from when did kissan jam turned spicy.
I tried this healthy dry fruits toast / paste.
u need :
6 slice sandwich bread,
1/4 cup dry grapes,
1/4 cup cherry,
1/4 cup prunes,
1/4 cup dates,
1/4 cup apricots,
1/4 blanched almonds,
1/4 cup cashew nuts,
1/4 cup walnut,
1/4 cup cran berry,
1/4 cup blue berry,
1/4 cup rasp berry,
1/4 cup anjoor ,
1 tbsp honey.
Method for paste:
For 5 months and above babies it is better to make paste. Bread is not required.
Just soak everything in hot water in a bowl for 3 hours but reduce the quantity of dry fruits. This quantity of dry fruits will be enough for 1 weeks for small babies. Make a fine paste and add little honey and make the baby eat when it is freshly prepared and when the baby is v hungry and use only boiled and cooled water for grinding. Initially when u start only give v little so later u can increase the quantity. If u see any changes and feel baby is not feeling ok just stop it for 2 days. Because u cannot predict anything in parenting each kid has its own likes and dislikes. I cannot say my kid likes so all the kids in the world will enjoy this. Give this paste alternate days. But it is so healthy if the kid gets adjusted protein , calcium, vitamins and many more things will be included in one simple paste. Any other dry fruit can be added or reduced from this list. It is left to the mothers and kids choice.
Please do not refrigerate it cannot be stored .
Method for toast:
Mix all the dry fruits in a bowl and add honey and mix well. Fill this in the bread and use a sandwich toaster and toast it and serve it fresh. Toddlers just love this toast. U can mix all the dry fruits and keep it ready in an airtight container so in the evening for snacks or in the morning for breakfast u can prepare this healthy toast.
