Recipes for after-school snacks?

I got this recipe from Anandhavikatan a few months back and tried it. This sweet bajji is very easy to make and came out really well.

Hi,

I would appreciate it if anyone could give me examples/ recipes of after school snacks (preferable indian). My kids are tired of the usual cereal/milk, cookies etc.

Thanks,
Fatima

hi fathima

Dear Fatima,

You can make instant banana dosai or other dosai varities...refer Chitvish recipes. Also, veggie bajjies, pakodas, samosas ( can buy the ready frozen ones) are all good eats. I would also suggest you make toasted sandwiches with some masala veggie preperation as filling...I mention these as you said 'Indian' ones. Also potato chips sprinked with chat masala may be attractive to the little ones.
