Chana (chickpea) Masala (soup)! Can be made using tinned chickpeas, is kid friendly bc not spicy! And can be served with bread, roti or eaten alone! Chana is my favourite :) https://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/chana-masala/
I know that loads of people love Saag Aloo! Or as I grew up calling it... Aloo Saag... well it’s actually really easy to make! Here’s the easiest recipe I could find https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/mikeyandthekitchen.wordpress.com/2019/07/25/3452/amp/
