Wrapping up with reading the first 3 book of orange readers ( a set of 21 books )

Orange readers are like level 0 of reading

The first 3 books only cover group 1 ( s , a , t , I, p ,n ) sounds and is a good feedback mechanism for a kid to understand why are they really messing to read these sounds or ketters

The objective is to be able to read n write

It certainly boosts their morale n confidence to be able to read almost real books thsn the convention

Pat sat on a bat kinda books

Starting our phonics journey with jolly phonics , q synthetic phonics program

I have the teachers book , the pupil book and the ipad qpp to do the lessons

Gajar ka halwa

Fermented samai urundai or Fermented little millet balls seasoned with peanuts and lentils and Indian spices

My 4 yo doesn't like the taste of millet but when tempered and rolled like a sushi she loves it and its like finger food which she fondly calls veggie sushi

The millet is cooked and I keep it overnight for natural fermenting to happen and then season it

Layer it with veggies and ideas are endless

Inspired by Asian cuisine in Singapore where sticky rice balls are combined with veggies and meat

We made a home cooked meal for v day , vegan style

A bed of brown rice , topped with oven roasted cabbage steak with a sprinkle of curried chickpeas , a dollop of cabbage cashew sauce all topped with spices pistachios

Inspired by

White bean stew with toasted bread and a lentil spiced sprinkle ( made with roasted lentils and spices and coarsely ground )

I see a lot of seed sprinkles for adding protein into kids food , why not use the same concept for cresting the age old lentil sprinkle

In South India its known as menthi podi and chutney podi , I have made a modified version witn less spice and salt

Awesome for kids
