Egg Chapathi | Egg Chapathi Roll

Egg Recipes, Lunch Box Recipes, Rotis and Parathas 4 comments

My kids like to take chapathi to school but they want to eat the chapathi only with curd. They don't like eating it with any veggies. This recipe is an easy way to make their lunch more healthy. The addition of eggs makes it protein rich and it makes the chapathi tasty too. You can add some vegetable stuffing in the middle and roll it up too. But my kids don't like it that way so I simply cut this up and pack it with curd.

Keerai Thandu Poriyal

Greens Recipes, poriyal, Stir fry, Veg Side Dish for Rice No comments

Keerai thandu poriyal is a stirfry made with only the stems of the keerai. I make a lot of keerai poriyal and my kids don't like eating the stems of the greens. So my maid suggested this recipe where you can cook the stems separately and make a poriyal out of it. The stems are already so tender so it cooks pretty well. I put it in the pressure cooker to make sure it was well cooked so that my kids will not fuss about it!
