Nitha,

My LO is not eating any now still small.

1)Shredded Chicken sandwiches with cream sauce, lettuce leaf, onion.
2) Sandwich - Boiled egg, potato and chutney/butter
3) Double decker sandwich, with chutney, cucumber, and sauce/ exclude the cucumber, only cucumber and butter too taste good.
4) Tomato toast one of my favs - Make a mixture of tomato puree, cream, corriander, chillies, onions - spread it on both the sides of the bread and bake/ shallow fry and serve with sauce
5) Rava toast - Mix rava, tomato, milk, corriander, onion, chillies, spread it on both the sides of the bread and shallow fry/ bake
6) Cheese potato toast - Mixture of boiled potato, chillies, tomato chilly sauce, spread it on the toast, spread it on the bread and bake.
6) Omlette bread - Make a mixture of omlette dip the egg and fry or bake whatever you prefer
7) French fries - Cut the potatoes lengthwise, parboil and fry or bake
8) Misal - Make a curry with sprouts and add chivda
9) Rice poha chivda
10) Corn flakes chivda
11) You can make frankies with different variation using chappati or parotha as a base, tortillas, wraps.
12) Masala dosa, utappa
13) Veg idli
14) Flower dosas - Pon has already covered this

Here's just a few things actually I would like to have in a long run and actually indulge in, lets see if Lenora joins in for a bite. Few things you can try right away, few things good for tiffin snacks later. Lenora too prefers the non sweet version.

As Raj mentioned try different shapes and make it as colourful as possible, colours attract kids the most.

 

Nitha,
You can have the tomato toast without onions and add bit of turmeric too it tastes yum with tomato sauce. Dill leaves can be added in place of coriander as a variation.
Yesterday I purchased two toddler cook books and they had all variations in sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, rolls, with fillings of paneer, nutrella (soya chunks), sprouted moong. Dabeli, bhel, parantha, cutlet, dhalia upma see if you can include some of these and come up with something. Keep the chutneys and mayo sauce ready so you can simply toss out a simple sandwich with cheese, lettuce, leave, cutlet, tomato and serve.
Will take some more ideas from you later. BTW you cook well.

 

Tried this for DS yesterday and he lapped it up!

Made a small paratha (abt 3 inches across) and while on the last stage of cooking, smeared some gravy from our veggie on it plus some cheese .. kinda like desi pizza. Then cut it into triangles and handed it to him ... he loved it!

Also foccacia bread from a bakery near our house he liked. That's given me the idea now to maybe start some sandwich type stuff for him. Ladies, apart from bread n butter or bread n jan or bread n cheese, please give me more sandwich ideas.

 

Sandwich fillings:
cream cheese and sliced green olives
cream cheese and jam
peanut butter and jelly
cashew butter and maple cream
peanut butter and banana
hummus
