Yes there in fact children in India who eat it daily, where it is just known as “food” rather than Indian food. If Op is open to going out to eat, Indian lunch buffets are huge and diverse and even the pickiest child should find something if interest. (Head out to Reston Va for a number of good options.)

Im south indian (born here) and my kids are half Indian. Im veg, they’re not. We eat a variety of cuisines at home. In terms of cooking Indian food for them, I make it non spicy or barely spicy. They love dosa/coconut chutney (i buy the dosa batter but make the mild chutney); idlies (same); rasam with rice; south indian vegetable stirfry made with one dried chili unbroken and removed after cooking; huli sambar; curds rice of course, roti chapathi, dal.

For north indian, i make a mild mutter paneer using spaghetti sauce! (Doctor it up with cumin, garam masala, ginger, garlic, a tiny amount of chili powder if any, turmeric; add cream and butter or cashew cream snd butter). You can even use tofu for paneer. I know, sacrilegious, but don't knock it till you try it!

+1 head out to a weekend buffet at Woodlands. I’ve never seen a kid who won’t eat a dosa and coconut chutney. The paper ones are especially fun for kids.

So easy and so fast to make. Make a huge dosa maybe 21 inch long, and then cut into three parts. You don’t have to make puny dosas. If you are feeding a crowd then you need two or three Tara going. You should hire a cook who can churn out the dosas for you. Else, switch to idli with coconut chutney.

OP here: save your snark and work on your reading comprehension. I am Indian and asking what Indian foods to serve to kids who may not be familiar with Indian food.
