Lemon Peas Rice
Lemon rice is a simple rice variety that we make a lot in South India. My children prefer this kind of variety rice for their lunch boxes. One such day I decided to add some cooked peas along with it, just to include some veggies to their lunch box. You can also add some carrots instead of the peas.

Cabbage Egg Rice
I don't like repeating lunch box menus for atleast 2-3 weeks to keep things interesting and especially to keep my kids interested in the lunch box! So I end up making different kinds of variety rice.
One such day I made this cabbage egg rice. I usually make cabbage egg poriyal as a side dish for rice, I simply added some rice to the poriyal and made this for my kids lunch box.
You can add some peanuts for crunch.

Rajma Biryani
Rajma also called as Red Kidney Beans is rich in protein and fiber and is usually known as the poor man's meat. Although the protein content in the kidney beans is lower than animal protein, the protein content found in kidney beans is considered to be excellent for vegetarians.
You can make many dishes out of rajma. I love to make masala with it which goes very well with roti or even rice. This time I made a biryani with the rajma for my kids lunch box. I make biryani every week with either rajma or double beans or lima beans or chick peas or black eyes peas. All of these are rich in protein.

Whenever we go out to eat, this is the rice my daughter always orders. Since they like it so much, I make different version of fried rice at home and it is easy to pack for lunch boxes too.

Bhindi Rice | Okra Rice
My son has started full day school and he likes to take only variety rice in his lunch box. He does not like taking sambar, rasam. So I make different kinds of pulao, fried rice often. This time I decided to make this okra rice as I wanted to include okra in my kids diet.
Okra is a healthy veggie, rich in vitamins, folic acid and calcium. It is low in calories and high in dietary fibre. Growing up, I was not very fond of okra but now it's one of my top favorite veggie!
Okra is called as Bhindi in Hindi and Vendakkai in Tamil. Many people don't cook okra due to it's sticky nature but if done properly, there will be no stickiness and it's a breeze to cook okra.

Mixed Vegetable Pulao
I have already posted one version of mixed veg pulao where I have used the microwave to partially cook the veggies and then used an electric rice cooker to cook the pulao. You can check that recipe here. This recipe is an easy one pot recipe that is pretty simple to put together.

Palak Paneer Biryani
This is another easy and kids favorite lunch box recipe that you can try. I make some kind of pulao/biryani every week for my kids and this time I tried this palak paneer pulao. I first came across this recipe here and this is a nice way to include palak greens and panner. Since most kids love paneer, this will be a sure shot winner with them!
I made this in a pressure cooker for convenience and ease but you can also cook the rice separately and add it to the palak gravy. That way the paneer will also not get over cooked.

Paneer Fried Rice
Fried rice is a very common Indo Chinese dish in our house. I make different varieties of fried rice since my kids like to take this for lunch. And since I always like some variety in the lunches I pack for them, I made a paneer fried rice one day and my family loved it!
Everybody loves paneer and adding it always makes the dish healthy and tasty. The important thing here is to make sure the paneer does not turn rubbery and also make sure the paneer is tasty. You can shallow fry the paneer before adding in but make sure you don't overcook the paneer.

Burnt Garlic Fried Rice
Burnt garlic fried rice is similar to the fried rice that is usually made except we add some extra garlic to it and the garlic is slightly burnt to give a unique flavor to the rice.
You can add the garlic at the beginning or you can saute the garlic separately and add it at the end. I make it exactly the same way I make the usual fried rice except I allow the garlic to burn a little bit.

Lemon Rice
Lemon Rice is a flavorful, easy and simple rice that you can pack for kids lunch box. Since my kids are very little, they prefer these kind of variety rice in their lunch boxes instead of sambar/kuzhambu rice. I add some cashews and peanuts to make it more crunchy for them. If you want some variety, check out this lemon peas rice. This pairs very well potato roast.
Lemon rice is also a great option to pack when we have to travel. I remember as a kid, my mom always used to pack lemon rice when we went in train. It was always lemon rice or tamarind rice or curd rice with potatoes whenever we went on vacations. It doesn't spoil and always tastes so flavorful.
You can also prepare this with leftover rice. If you have left over rice, then this is the quickest, tastiest dish you can make!

Soya Pulao
Pulao is one of the few dishes that my fussy kids like to eat! So, I make a pulao once every week for lunch box. I make it a different pulao every week to keep it interesting. I make this soya pulao and my kids and their friends like eating the little soya nuggets. I always have a pack of soya in my pantry and if I don't have anything to add to the pulao, I make this soya pulao instead of a making a plain jeera pulao. Check out the other pulao recipes.
One of the things I notice is that, the pulao is never spicy, so to make it spicy add lots of green chillies or add some garam masala to spice it up. And as always with all my pulao recipes, I add some coconut milk which lifts it to a whole new level.

Easy Tamarind Rice Recipe | Puli Sadam
I don't make tamarind rice very often, I'm not very fond of it too except when we are travelling!! Nothing beats the tamarind rice with potato roast in train or picnic!! My mom makes a simple tamarind paste which I like and follow her recipe. My mom makes this paste and stocks some in the fridge for later use.

Peas Pulao
I make a pulao every week for lunch box and every time I try to make a different pulao but the most favorite of all my pulao recipes is always the humble peas pulao. I have already posted another recipe of peas pulao that my mother makes in an electric cooker.
This is my version, that I make in a pressure cooker with some garam masala (optional) and coconut milk. Most people don't add coconut milk to pulao but I tell you once you add coconut milk, you will never make pulao without it! Coconut milk makes the pulao so flavorful and delicious that we find a pulao without coconut milk a tad bland!!

Palak Pulao
Palak is one of my most favorite greens and I try to buy it atleast once a week. And each time I make something different with it. This time I made a simple pulao and this tastes really good! You just need a simple curry for the side dish and it works very well. I pack this lunch boxes too and everybody loves it! Check out the other palak recipes.
