My daughter's two favourite vegetables are okra and eggplant. Any kid friendly recipes that I can try?

haha.. Though I'm never a big fan of okra, my sister loved it. At my own place, it is usually cooked with curry (especially fishhead curry). To introduce the curry version to the little ones, you can try this recipe: Mild Okra and Sweet Potato Curry [taken from: http://homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/okra-baby-food-ideas-tips-and-recipes/] Ingredients: 1 small onion, diced 1 garlic clove, crushed 2 medium tomatoes, chopped pinch of turmeric pinch of cinnamon one small sweet potato, diced 3-4 okra pods, topped, tailed and sliced Saute the onions and garlic in a little oil until tender. Add the turmeric and cinnamon and stir well. Add a little water if the mixture seems very dry. Add the tomatoes and mix thoroughly. Stir in the sweet potato dice, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Again, if the mixture seems dry, just add a little more water. Add the sliced okra and re-cover. Cook for a further 5 mins and it is ready for serving.
