Healthy Vegetable Spicy Semolina Cake

Do you find it extremely difficult to make your child eat vegetables? If yes, then you are no different. Especially to fussy eaters, it has always been challenge to make them eat different vegetables. My 9 year has a lot of tantrum when it comes to eating vegetables. Ironically, not any more. This savoury semolina cake is a perfect and delightful way to make your fussy eaters eat vegetables. Children tend to eat potatoes most of the time and they run away eating healthy vegetables. This is one best way I could find to make my 9-year-old son eat a variety of vegetables.
