In the busy morning times, we always run short of lunch box idea for kids. Moreover , we have very less time to cook and pack lunch. So most of the time, we have no option, but to pack unhealthy and less nutritious food for kids . Also, kids are always picky eaters and bring back the lunch without touching, if we give them vegetables. My son also similar.
So I though to make him eat vegetables by giving it in a way he likes. Today I have given a recipe of simple dal rice and okra(ladies finger) roast. Of course, okra is deep fried and not suitable for adults who are in the process of reducing weight. But for kids, it is ok as they are young and no need to reduce weight. My son who never like to eat vegetables, like this okra roast a lot. Please try this and give it to your kids for school lunch !
