Nonta Suji
The easiest of easy tiffin recipe for those moms whose youngsters ignore lunch during break. I remember I used to give this food a titbit fun shape. My kids always complained to me that the smell emanating the boxes did tend to pull a crowd of their friends towards it and they had to hide to have a little themselves. One can make this healthy dish in a couple of minutes using very few ingredients and also make it a more than satisfiably delicious one. There are also some healthy recipes, easy and quick steps read-only for now (see Thandai Lassi - Hot summer special).
Tips: Take a plate, slightly grease with oil or butter and spread the cooked semolina evenly. Cut it with fun shaped cookie cutter or cake mold. Pack this healthy, eye catching and delicious tiffin in your kid's lunch box.
