Veggies: Green Beans, Carrots and mung beans

I heard it is hard to make toddler eat veggies, here is the recipe that helped me, my 15 months old loves this..

Ingredients
Butter or Olive Oil
Garlic - 1 clove
Tomato - 1
Green Beans  - 10
Carrots - 2
Mung Beans - 1/4 cup

Soak the dry beans in water for about 4 hrs. If not, you can use the canned beans as well.

Slice the Garlic, cut Carrots into medium size pieces, Green Beans and Tomato. Note: not to make Beans too small, so you can easily separate them.

Heat the olive Oil or Butter, I prefer Olive Oil over butter for various health benefits.
Add Garlic fry it a bit, no need to wait until it turns Pink or Brown.
Tomato, Green Beans and Carrots.
Add little Salt, fry about 7 to 10 min.
Add Mung Beans, and cook in slow flame. Best alternative to cut the cooking time is to use the pressure cooker.
Be careful when handling hot pressure cooker or cooking pots.

When it is done, separate the Beans and Mash the rest of the content a little, so it becomes smooth to drink as stoup. Wait while it cools down and serve.
