The Classic Paratha Power
A staple in many Indian homes, parathas are perfect for lunchboxes! Consider stuffing them with paneer, aloo, or even a veggie mix. Pack alongside a dollop
of yoghurt or a simple pickle. This ensures a filling and flavourful meal that resonates with Indian tastes.
Sandwich Surprise Success
Sandwiches get a makeover! Try a masala toast sandwich with chutney or a colourful veggie and cheese sandwich. Keep it fresh with whole-wheat bread and add in some healthy greens. They are easy to eat and loved by children everywhere.
Rice-tastic Lunchbox Magic
Rice dishes offer great versatility. Prepare a flavourful vegetable pulao or a simple dal-chawal combination. Pack it with a side of raita or a small portion of a sabzi. It's a comforting and easily customizable option, perfect for active kids.
The Healthy Snack Attack
Don't forget healthy snacks! Include fresh fruits like mangoes (when in season!), bananas, or a small container of mixed nuts and seeds. Add some roasted chana or a small portion of khakhra for a satisfying crunch and an extra boost of energy.
Hydration Station Essential
Always pack a water bottle! Include buttermilk (chaas) for a refreshing and probiotic-rich drink. Small portions of homemade juice or a bottle of lassi can also be great options to keep the kids hydrated and refreshed throughout the school day.
