Mixed vegetables in a spinach based gravy! Not only does it sound interesting but it is extremely healthy too. 

The biggest problem I have is to make my son eat green veggies. He will coolly separate his onions, peas, broccoli from the dish and pile them up on one side of his plate. And so I have to keep coming up with new ideas to interest him in his platter of veggies. 

Thanks to Popeye the sailor man he is fond of spinach. So its spinach and veggies today!!
