Fritters are not my cup of tea. It all changes when my toddler refuses to eat anything. The greater interest I show on making different recipes, he see them less likely. It is a common thing. Finding what kids eat is a million dollar question to every mom. Do you want kids to have a bite? the answer to your question is FRITTERS. Fritters made with cauliflower, broccoli or anything is called as broccoli chicken, cauliflower chicken by my son.
