Spinach, Rice and Corn Patties - Mirch Masala - Toddler Food Recipe (2)

I know lil V does not get bored if I repeat his food every now and then and AJ keeps reminding me of that. But I just feel as if he does get bored. I mean, I get bored! I cannot eat the same thing for more than two meals. So I kinda don’t expect him to like it too. But I am sure that he does not even realize any of that. Like AJ says, lil V wouldn’t probably mind at all if I repeat his meals. But I just got to do what I got want to do. At least till lil V starts realizing and starts demanding for what food he wants. He sometimes does that now, not for his meals, but for his snacks.

Spinach, Rice and Corn Patties - Mirch Masala - Toddler Food Recipe (4)

I got this idea from a very old book I tagged along with me from India when I came to the US. It is, obviously, not a baby food book. It is a book by Tarla Dalal on Cooking with Leftovers. I was going through that and saw this recipe for rice, spinach and corn balls with leftover rice. Of course, the recipe was very different than what I made for lil V. But that definitely was the inspiration to come up with this recipe.
