Packed Breakfast/Lunch

on

Spicy Boiled Eggs

Crazy simple recipe - but lifts the humble boiled eggs by a lot.
  • Boiled and halved eggs (I usually boil for 12-13 minutes after the water starts boiling).
  • Oil (preferably, black sesame)
  • Onions - sliced thinly - cook at low flame in oil until they start browing
  • Chow mein sauce - I use the one from Masterchow, which has 0 additives
Add some sauce to the onions, and switch off the flame. Pour over the eggs, and pack for any time snack!

Boiled Eggs with Guacamole

Though I started with the previous recipe (Spicy Boiled Eggs), but then I made this one day for Aoyon's packed breakfast, and this is now a complete fam-favorite. I eat guac with my omelette, while he packs it for office with boiled eggs. This has made breakfast more filling and increased the satiety-factor. Definitely reduced my morning post-yoga sugar craving.
 

Masala Idli's (2 ways)

  • Idli - regular sized cut into 4 pieces, or mini idlies - beetroot flour can be added to batter for fun
  • Ghee
  • Mustard seeds
  • pin of heeng
  • curry leaves
Recipe #1 Podi Idli
Add podi to the pan, and toss the idlis. Gives dry but yum and crunchy idlis.
 
Recipe #2 Tomato Idli
  • Tomatoes, ginger, chillies - create paste in grinder jar
Add tomato paste to the pan, and toss the idlis. Can also top with a little podi. This gives out a wetter idli.


Some other things that I pack for daughter's school (recipe elsewhere on the blog):

Burgers

Best made when I have made rajma the previous day. 


Pasta


Appe

Came across this appe recipe recently - am planning to try it for tomorrow's school lunch.

Corn Paneer Paniyaram: 
Take diced paneer + cooked corn + chilli powder + coriander + salt. 
Mix well and now add dosa batter and mix again. 
Now pour this in a paniyaram pan and cook well. Turn and cook the other side as well. 
KIWI CHUTNEY: Grind Kiwi fruit + coconut + coriander + ginger + green chillies + salt + water.

Update: I actually ended up making a variation - added grated carrots, dill and mushrooms to dosa batter. Made appe with a small filling of paneer. Came out pretty good.
