Chilli Cheese Toast - A Healthy Snack For Kids

Making your kids eat food has been always a big task for mothers. As a kid my brother was also such a kid. He liked all the stuff which was unhealthy. So my mom had to think of lots of ways to make the food tasty as well as healthy so that he may have it. Cheese toast was one of her many creations although the idea came from my brother. He had cheese toast at one of his friends house and then wanted mom to make it. My mother improvised a little and came up with this Chilly Cheese toast which is very delicious when eaten hot with tomato ketchup.

Paneer, the basic ingredient of chilly cheese toast is a very nutritious cottage cheese extremely popular with kids and a rich source of proteins, carbohydrates and calcium. When served hot cheese toast just melts in mouth. If you want you can add other vegetables also like chopped tomatoes, shredded cabbage or carrot etc. Kids will love it in their breakfast or evening snacks along with a glass of milk or fresh juice. The key is making the food fun to eat.
