When I checked my Lunch Box series, I was surprised it's been a long time since I posted anything under it. Truth be said, most of the dishes I post are my lunch box dishes. However I like the dishes to be presented in a certain manner for me to call it that. This delicious Soya Chunk Pulao along with a Pakodi made with Sorakaya / Bottle Gourd, was such a treat for lunch time in office. I had packed the pakodis in a separate box and mixed it just before eating. The Soya Chunk pulao was mild enough to be packed for your kid's lunch box, though the curry was very spicy.
It's holiday for the boys and we have ran out of ideas to keep them occupied. While Konda's exams are yet to begin. I am eagerly looking at activities that can keep the boys occupied and not get Athamma crazy. Maybe getting couple of colouring books, handwriting books should help. I know their handwriting can actually meet Kashmir with Kanyakumari.
