Besides deciding what to cook for lunch or dinner, thinking about what to carry in tiffin is another task that we often worry about. Especially when it comes to our children’s lunch box, we have to pick our brains a little too hard to ensure those picky eaters will enjoy their tiffin. We all love eating something different each day, something that looks good, tastes good and of course something that’s easy to make. So, to make your life a little easier, here are a few fun lunch box ideas for you to try out.
First on the list is a little fancy cornflakes french toast with a wonderful crunch on the outside while soft inside. It is an absolutely simple and tasty recipe. You start off by beating eggs, then dip brown bread slices, one by one, and coat them with the cornflakes. Finally shallow-fry them till evenly golden and crisp on both sides. Serve this unusual cornflakes french toast with the caramelized bananas.
Next is a little unique traditional recipe from Bihari cuisine, Litti Chokha. This dish has two components: 'litti’ or small dumplings made using sattu with yummy filling inside, and the other being ‘chokha’ made using roasted eggplant, tomatoes, and spices, delivering a burst of charred flavors. When eaten together, it instantly makes one and all happy.
Then comes a delightful street food magic Kathi Roll, which is so easy to make that you’ll want to make it everyday. We recommend you try the chicken Kathi Roll, but if you fancy you can choose your own stuffing. Succulent grilled meat is wrapped in a paratha, and adorned with onions, chilies, and a squeeze of lime, making it a wonderful lunch box option.
Moving on, some days must be set for a comforting recipe, like Ghee Rice. The simplicity of this Kerala’s most loved recipe undeniably takes center stage. Pair the Ghee Rice with a side dish of your choice and that’s it your tiffin is ready. Kids will enjoy this simple yet fragrant rice dish and happily finish off the whole tiffin.
Finally, for all the spaghetti lovers, Cacio e Pepe is a wonderful option. Traditionally , Cacio e Pepe is made using aged Pecorino Romano cheese, freshly ground black pepper, and spaghetti. So, you can make Cacio e Pepe or twist it a little and explore Spaghetti Aglio Olio, where Parmesan cheese replaces Pecorino Romano, offering a slightly different flavor profile while maintaining the essence of a classic Italian dish. In both these forms it will be a tiffin hit.
We hope these five lunch box recipes make your life a tad bit easier and a lot of fun.
