    Fruits - Make purees/juices and turn them into popsicles, Milk shakes, Smoothies

    Curd - Flavored yogurt, smoothies, Yogurt dots (Drip yogurt in drops in a plate and freeze for 20 minutes. Scrape the dots and give for frozen dots . Fun way of eating frozen yogurt).

    For body heat: Try coconut water too

    frozen drops sounds wonderful Ramya! I got to try this.

    OP, I received a fruit cutter as a gift for Christmas. I started cutting fruits in fun shapes like stars, leaves, rounds etc and mine loves to eat selected fruits now.

    Apar from what Ramya said, you could also try cutting fruits in bite size pieces and mix it with a spoon of home made custard or a spoon of homemade icecream.

    Also offer her cucumber, its supposed to control heat in the body.

    Fruits -
    1) try different varieties other than the usual apples and bananas. My 2.5 year old DD loves guava, custard apple, grapes, sapota
    2) try fruit custard, flavored yoghurt, fruit salad (different colors and shapes would make it look attractive, serve in attractive bowls)
    3) incorporate bananas into pancakes and muffins

    For cooling the body, you can try making more kuzhambu (kadi style of preparation), raitha (give as a snack), lassi. Include water based vegetables like bottlegourd, cucumber, chow-chow etc in her foods regularly.

    have you tried fruit flavoured or sweet curd, may be she finds curd as sour? try to mash some fruits in curd and give, like strawberry, mangoes etc, or try with little jaggery added to curd.
    for fruits, i give fruits to my baby in custard, oats, sweet daliya porridge, like apple can be added with daliya( broken wheat ) and boiled and then add milk to make porridge, like wise, strawberry , apple can be added to oats. try to make fruit puree and give it as spread or jam with bread. fruit juice ice candy is good too. besides that milk shakes, smoothies etc are good too, try lots of varieties of fruit im sure she might like something.
    for body heat try cucumber and give lots of summer veggies like surakai etc

    @karanu Long time!

    For popsicles: Make fruit juice, pour in ice cream molds and freeze. You can add cut fruits to the molds when pouring the juice. You will nice color blend and varied taste.

    @breeze Raisins become hard when frozen. Frozen yogurt will melt in your mouth.
