Ideas for packing lunch for kids - daycare / school goers

Hi Priya,

You can pack milk in thermos food jar (keeps milk hot for almost 6 hrs). Other way is to give him ultra pasteurized organic milk cartoons (8 oz ones).

Ingredients:

2 medium to small size cucumbers
½ cup rava/ sooji (fine)
½ cup idli rava
½ cup rice flour
2 tbsp wheat flour
Coriander leaves
4-5 green chillies
oil, salt
Preparation:
Peel the cucumbers and grate them. Retain the seeds of the cucumber but drain part of the cucumber water.
Chop up the green chilies very finely. Chop the coriander leaves.
Add the idli rava, rice flour, sooji, wheat flour, coriander leaves, and green chilies to grated cucumber and mix well. Add salt as required
Let this whole thing rest for about 30 minutes. Note that the mixture in this case will be coarse and not “gooey” or watery like a dosa batter.
Procedure:
Heat a griddle /tava and grease it a little bit. When the griddle/tava is hot, take a handful of the cucumber mixture and place at the center.
Pat the mixture using finger tips and spread it around starting from the center to form a circle.
Use little water to spread this out if it becomes hot to handle.
This spreading should not be either too thick or thin, make it as even as possible.
Make about 4-5 small holes around the periphery and center of the circle using a spatula.
Put about 1 tsp of oil around the pancake (rotti) and also 1 tsp into the small holes.
Cover this with a lid and let it stay for a minute or so on high heat.
After a minute take a peek and check to see if the backside of the rotti has a brown color.
If it has not, then let it stay for a while or the rotti will break when trying to turn it around.
If it has browned then, turn the rotti around, put some more oil around it and let it cook for a while.
This can be eaten as is or with little ghee or coconut oil.
