Is there variety in what you pack?
Is it easy for you to make in the mornings?
Most importantly, is it nutritious?
We give you ten lunch options that you can use through the school year, repeating each recipe just twice a month.
1. Vegetable Sandwich
Slice cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots and beetroots (avoid if your kid doesn't enjoy and replace with capsicum). Layer them in buttered multi-grain bread, and add a slice of cheese. Your sandwich is filling, and wholesome.
2. Adai (Lentil) Dosa
Mix one small cup of Soulfull's Adai dosa mix with water. Prepare two Dosas on a hot Tava, with half a spoonfull of oil. Pack this with chutney, a cut seasonal fruit and a bowl of curds, ensuring a high protein lunch for your child in a jiffy.
3. Paneer Roll
Make two chapattis with multi grain atta and no oil. Sauté onions, tomatoes and paneer for the filling. Smear the filling into the chapattis, and roll. Additionally you can also smear ketchup, coriander or pudhina chutney. Heat on the Tava for a minute and pack in your child's box!
4. Rava Idli
Mix one cup of Soulfull's Rava Idli mix with one and a half cups of curd. Steam cook for fifteen to twenty minutes, and pack a handful of Soulfull's Ragi strawberry Fills as a treat.
5. Whole Wheat Pasta
Boil one cup of whole wheat pasta in three cups of water, and a dash of salt, and olive oil. Sauté broccoli, zucchini, beans and carrot in pan. Make a Puree of half sautéed onion and two tomatoes, and add it to the vegetables. Simmer, till it is thick and dark red in colour. Add salt and oregano or any Italian spices (optional), and garnish with chopped olives and grated cheese.
6. Rice Idli
Mix one cup of Soulfull's Rice Idli mix with one cup of water. Steam cook for fifteen to twenty minutes. Boil, and cut vegetables in half a cup of tamarind water. Add precooked Thoor Dhal to it, followed by Sambar powder, and season with curry leaves, sautéed mustard and aesephotida.
7. Poha/Aval
Pour some water on two handfuls of Aval, and drain the water out completely. In a kadai, sauté mustard seeds, curry leaves and half a green chilli. Add finely chopped onions and sauté. Add shredded cabbage, turmeric powder and salt. Switch off the flame, and mix in the soaked Aval. Garnish with a squeezed lime.
8. Ragi Dosa
Mix one cup of water to one cup of Soulfull's Ragi Dosa Mix. Make two Dosas on a tava. Serve with coconut or tomato chutney. Also add a side of grated carrots, with salt and lime.
9. Quick Pulao
Pressure cook a handful of Basmati rice, with peas and finely diced carrots, cauliflower and beans. Add two cloves, one small stick of cinnamon and some Cardomom pods, before cooking. Once cooked, garnish with roasted cashew nuts. Serve with yoghurt as a delicious accompaniment.
10. Rava Dosa
Mix one cup of the Soulfull Rava Dosa mix in one cup of water. On a very hot Tava, pour the batter, and leave it for two to three minutes. Remove it from the Tava, and repeat the process for one more Rava Dosa. Serve with a chutney of tomatoes, sautéed onion, half a green chilli, a bunch of coriander, and a small piece of tamarind. Add salt to taste. Cut mangoes or a seasonal fruit, too.
