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.

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. 


Burnt Garlic Fried 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!

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.

Mushroom and Egg Rice | Easy Lunch Box Recipes

This rice has become one of the most favorite rice recipes for us! We love mushrooms and we love eggs and this makes an awesome combination This rice is so flavorful and delicious and you can have it with minimal accompaniments, a simple raita and chips is more than enough.

You can make this rice on a lazy day and this is amazing to pack for lunch boxes too. When I was making the mushroom and egg bhurji, I had an idea to make a rice out of it and it turned out fabulously! This is just like the masala egg rice but with the addition of mushrooms! This is also similar to a mushroom and egg fried rice but without the 'fancy' additions that goes with making a Chinese style fried rice.

Mushroom Kothu Parotta / Mushroom Kothu Chappathi

Kothu parotta is a local street food that every South Indian loves. I have posted a version of kothu chapathi which is made with eggs before and this one is made with my favorite mushrooms! My husband and me enjoyed eating this version of kothu parotta. You can make this with left over roti or even poori. This is a very easy and simple recipe (without salna) that you can make quickly and enjoy.

Mint Rice | Pudina Rice

I have already posted a mint rice recipe, this method is mostly used when there is left over rice. Of course this can be made with freshly made rice too. I make this for lunch boxes and it's very easy and simple to make. I normally make the mint paste in the night and cook the rice and prepare the masala in the morning. Tastes awesome and very healthy too!

I like this recipe too because...well, I like any recipe that takes care of the left overs!!

Masala Paneer Rice

This paneer rice is a very easy lunch box recipe, I thought of making this dish after I made this masala egg rice. I had tweaked the egg bhurji recipe to make the masala egg rice so I wondered how it will taste if I tweaked the paneer bhurji recipe and thus came this paneer rice!
It turned out to be very tasty and most of all very easy to prepare! The only thing is make sure the paneer is soft otherwise it will not taste good. You can use left over rice too.

It makes a great lunch box recipe too! Pair it with any curry or gravy and you can a healthy wholesome, filling meal!

Vangi Bath / Brinjal Rice / Kathrikai Sadam Recipe

This is another easy to make, delicious recipe. It's a really good option for lunch boxes too. I'm normally not the roast and grind kind of a person, especially during early mornings but this rice tastes awesome so I don't mind doing it! You can also use the ready made vangi bath masala powder that is available in stores. 



My mom uses tamarind but I have used tomato for the tangy taste. You can skip the tomato and use about 1 or 2 tbsp of tamarind water too. You can make this with fresh cooked rice or with left over rice too.

Masala Egg Rice

I thought of this recipe when I was making egg bhurji. After making it, I was thinking, it would be really yum to add rice to this masala and also would make an easy lunch recipe and a lunch box recipe.
So I set out to try it out one day for my husband's lunch box and it came out very well and tasted yum too!
I added freshly made rice but you can use left over rice too.

Pudina Rice / Mint Rice / Pudina Pulao

This is one of the easiest rice recipes to make. You can either make it as a one pot meal or use left over rice to make this. You will need only 5-10 minutes to get this done. Very easy for early mornings and a very nice lunch box recipe.
The fresh mint leaves makes this dish extremely flavorful and it tastes really yum!
