Comment–
“Glad to share the easiest and the most delightful recipes for the working parents & kids. Usually, my kid would not be in a mood in the morning to have a heavy breakfast, and my wife used to panic because most of the time, he would miss the school bus. There used to be absolute chaos in the early mornings. This recipe came to life in those moments of morning chaos. It used to be very easy, would look colourful, just like a pizza, would be healthy, filling and the main thing was my kid loved it. Hence I named it Kidzee Delight.”
