Corn & Oats open sandwiches and sprouts salad!
My Sunny boy keeps me on my toes as far as his tiffin is concerned.The menu should be rolling and fresh and interesting. And i keep looking for making it a healthy collaboration.So what did we do this time? This time it was his favorite corn and my favorite Oats. When your son refuses to take oats in breakfast,you just hide it under a yummy delicious cover.
And what better cover then his no.1 choice Corn.So i made oats and corn with the goodness of paneer open sandwich.With of course a snack ,as his school has two breaks and mommy dear needs to fill that tummy with the much needed nutrition.
Keeping it simple this time CORN &OATS OPEN SANDWICH with a simple Sprouts ‘n’ Salad Chaat .
The chaat is our good old sprouts with chopped cucumber ,onion and tomatoes with a lovely lemon and chaat masala dressing.How much did i score? Well my score was a completely clean tiffin. Yup “Mom the tiffin was awesome.What did you make.I loved it.
Fix it for one day in a week”. Really?. Am glad son. 🙂 Ahh… i know if you are a mother ,then you can exactly understand my feelings.So go ahead and make these super easy open sandwiches and chaat for your wards tiffin next.
