This has to be my favorite post. After all, the only reason i ventured into serious cooking is for my kids .Am a very protective Mom as far as the Food and its health quotient is concerned.And that drives me to find new options for them to enjoy their tiffin and provide them full nutrition at the same time. Its not that we do not eat things like pasta, pizza,noodles etc. But we have segregated our days .We do Healthy weekdays and Fun Weekends.And since my son has two breaks i also have to make it a filling one.

 

 

Presenting the Tiffin Option No:3

  • Healthy hung-curd Vegetable Col-saw Wheat Bread Sandwich.
  • Sapodilla ( cheeku) & Plums (Fruit section)- Take fruits of your preference.
  • Oats and semolina vegetable Idlis with the goodness of beetroot.
  • Fresh Coconut Chutney- Instant
  • Sweet potato cutlets

You may prepare the chutney and the col saw a night before and make sweet potato mixture too beforehand to save time in the Morning.Then bringing together the Idlis and the rest is just a 20 minutes Affair.

The other Kids Tiffin Ideas : Lunch Box Option /Kids Tiffin Idea 4- Made under 15 minutes.
