Buying foods for yours toddlers

I find it quite difficult to buy foods for the toddlers. My wife makes kichuri(kichdi) for her for three meals. This is made of rice, pulse, vegetable, fish/chicken, egg, oil etc.

But she needs to take another 3 meals. She does not like to have milk. My daughter loves noodles, but many people discourage to give it to children. We try cornflakes, which she does not like much.

While she was younger, we used to buy muffin maker from Valueplus. But this shop does not keep its shelves upto date, and very often you will not find what you looked for.

Some websites suggest that we give her some fruits, but she does not like any of them. Again, we are usually scared of the quality and use of poisonous preservatives in the fruits.

If you have read this post and by any chance happen to be a parent, please share your experience too.
