Are you looking for some easy recipes for kids? Whether you’re cooking for children or encouraging your children to cook with you, I have the perfect collection of kids’ meal ideas we can cook together.

My children love to cook with me. Although it can be quite a messy affair (especially when they were younger!), it’s a fun activity for us to do together, it teaches them about healthy eating and it encourages them to be adventurous in trying new food…for me, that’s three wins!

Click through my pages of kids recipes and discover some really tasty treats your whole family will love. If your children can handle the hotter stuff you can always add more spice, and if not, you can prepare one batch for them and a separate batch for the adults -just be careful not to mix them up!

When we cook together as a family, the best recipes are always the dishes we can eat with our hands. There’s something really special about using your hands to create something together and then using your hands to devour it too!

So try some of these easy recipes for kids for happy tummies and smiling faces all round.

View all Dhals

It doesn’t matter where in India you are, dhal is really the backbone of authentic Indian cooking. Translated, dhal means split pulses, but more often than not it refers to lentils. There are many different spellings of dhal, including dal, dhal and daal - I spell it dhal but it’s commonly spelt dal across the UK. In any case, none of the spellings are incorrect, so just go with whichever one you prefer.

Lentils, like most other pulses, are a fantastic source of protein, and are really easy to cook with. However, it’s really important that you cook them through to ensure you don’t leave any of the anti-nutrients and naturally-occurring toxins that they contain. Don’t worry though - once they’ve softened up they’re ready to eat.

There are lots of different types of lentils and pulses to choose from, and even more dhal recipes than there are spellings of it! Dhal is a great comfort food and a great dish to experiment with in terms of spices and flavours so you can try out each dhal recipe, find your favourite and play around with it.

You can’t prepare many Indian meals without rice finding its way into the recipe somewhere. Whether as a tasty side dish, as an accompaniment to a sumptuous curry, or as part of the main event, like a Biryani, rice is never too far away.

Of course, there are as many different ways to prepare rice as there are number of Indian dishes. And you can bet that with such a distinct cultural tie, a lot of people (including myself) can be a bit of a snob when it comes to cooking Indian rice recipes properly!

Whether you’re cooking entire rice dishes, or just some rice recipes to go on the side, allow me to guide you through the way my mum taught me, to get the perfect rice every time.

Trust me, once you’ve tried my rice recipes, you’ll never go back!
