Kids Dal Pita & Chouchou

I love those one meal in one pot recipes. Today we are going to do simple dal pita with chouchou (chayote) for your kid. Dal pita is a dal dish with pieces of flour dough in it. Usually people make it from scratch like a roti cut in small pieces and put in the dal. This is so yummy and a complete meal.

Always running after time, I found this alternative that can work really well if you are in a hurry and also making small quantities for kids. I bought those ready made dal pita that comes in a packet like pasta. You can cook them exactly the same – I think the one I use instructed to cook for 8 minutes.

Let’s go for the recipe with some photos:
