A. For a 4-year-old child, it's important to provide a balanced diet that supports healthy growth and development. Here are some weight-gaining Indian food options that are nutritious and can appeal to a child's taste: 1. **Whole Milk:** Full-fat milk is a good source of healthy fats and essential nutrients like calcium. Offer 2-3 servings of milk per day. 2. **Paneer (Cottage Cheese):** Paneer is rich in protein and calcium. Include it in dishes like paneer paratha, paneer bhurji, or as a part of curries. 3. **Ghee:** Adding a small amount of ghee to meals can contribute to healthy fats and additional calories. 4. **Whole Eggs:** Eggs are a good source of protein and healthy fats. Include boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, or omelets in your child's diet. 5. **Nuts and Dry Fruits:** Offer a variety of nuts and dry fruits like almonds, cashews, raisins, and dates as snacks. Ensure they are chopped into small, safe pieces. 6. **Dals (Lentils):** Lentils are a good source of protein. Prepare dal in different forms like dal khichdi, dal paratha, or dal curry. 7. **Fruits:** Include a variety of fruits in your child's diet. Bananas, mangoes, and avocados are calorie-dense and provide essential nutrients. 8. **Potatoes:** Potatoes are a starchy vegetable that can be included in various forms like mashed, roasted, or in vegetable curries. 9. **Whole Grains:** Choose whole grains like brown rice, whole wheat, and oats. These provide energy and fiber. Offer chapatis, brown rice, or oatmeal. 10. **Yogurt:** Full-fat plain yogurt
