If this has been a regular thing in your homes as well, worry no more. Moms United is there to help you. I have been experimenting in few items that are not only loved by my kids, but which are also easy to assemble in the morning rush. This is essentially as easy as giving tadka to rice and gets ready in no time.
When I was young the lunch box never changed unless it was my birthday. Taking the same old Poli Bhaji aka Roti Subji made school less appealing, seem like a drag throughout the day!! The anticipation of whats for lunch, smells of aloo parathas smeared with ghee from an old classmate's lunch box kept inviting us that we raided his tiffin box well before we were actually supposed to, Come on; who ever will pass out on an delicious piece of aloo paratha, well not me for sure. Sigh!! only if my Lunch box was worth the wait, School might have been an interesting place to be!!!!

1 Cup cooked White rice
1/2 Medium Onion, Thinly Sliced

I was one of those kids who
constantly demanded 'something nice' in my lunch box and my poor working mom had to fulfill my wishes.
I wonder what Motherhood will bring to me in terms of all the trouble I gave her! O_o
Is the color because of the sweet n sour sauce or the seasoning? Looks nice.
I was miserable when it came to food in lunch box, I gavce her areal hard time. The color is red as I used the sweet and sour sauce. Donut gets teased at school coz of the lunch box he takes,. more on that in the next post. So try to keep the sauces less and flavor more in his food.
Love Ash.
