Great School Lunch tips. To add to some of your ideas – I make pasta with pesto, bean & cheese burrito, bread pakodas and my personal favorite is frozen samosas any kind which can be baked.
Fruit Kababs – the ultimate lunch treat for my kids – skewer grapes, olives, cantaloupe, cheese (or extra firm tofu or paneer), orange slices, cut off the pointy end, and cut the skewer in half. Pop in ziploc bag. Bonus – can be made the night before.
Ladies: I really love your website and I enjoy it very much. I want to let you know that I am deaf. I am able to read the recipes which you normally post and see how you cook. I was glad to read subtitles of each ingridents. Thank you. For Lunch tips on website, I am not able to get what you said. I’m hoping if you put ideas, comments and tips on the website. I would appreciate it very much. Thank you.

On how to pack yogurt for lunch.. take 3/4 cup plain yogurt… and mix in 1/4 cup warm milk into it and pack it in an air tight container.. by lunch time the yogurt would be firm and fresh..
If you buy gogurt, you can freeze them and send them along. By lunch time, they should be all thawed ready to eat. Not sure if the same would work for single serve size yogurt packs.
Hi Anuja & Hetal,
Your recipes are easy to follow and good.
One more idea for quick lunch;
Take cut onions, tomatoes & paneer, saute them after tempering with mustard seeds, add some sambhar / curry powder. Let it cook in little water. Add the steamed small idlis. Ready to pack
hi ladies,
wonderful tips. i usually bought every week one min stir fry veggie packet. so saute them add in the egg scramble and put it in the tortilla wrap.
Tuna fish sandwiches-
finely chop a small piece of onion, some cilantro and a small green chilli and mix it with one can of tuna fish and some mayo. Use this spread in your sandwich. My kids love this and the fishy tuna taste is well masked. Sometimes I add sliced black olives. You could add finely chopped celery and the pickled, jalapeno slices istead of green chillies.
Hi ….
I want to know ,,, after opening the can of tuna how long can u keep it in the refridgerator. i transfered it into another container….please reply….
I am not much of a cook at all and therefore constantly look at these websites for ideas.
1. I was surprised to see that nobody posted chapati rolls. I heat up some chapati and apply some ghee and sugar and roll it up. Not only do my kids eat it but their friends love it too! If your kids eat vege’s (in my house it is a fight so I reserve this for dinner time), you can heat up and roll dry vege subzi’s from the night before.
2. As for the pocket Pita and tortilla rolls, you can cut up your kids favorite fruits, mix in some fruit preserve and stuff it in.
i love your show.its great!!!!!!but recently i am not able to play your practical tip and recipe demonstrations.that block is blocked!!!!!!!!!!kindly help me.
