Lunch Box Ideas for Work (office) and School

Lunch should be healthy and nutritious, so avoid packing unhealthy food or junk food or food prepared with maida (all purpose flour) or processed food.

Sandwiches prepared with brown bread with a healthy filling is great for lunch. Try protein packed kidney bean sandwichwhich is good for both kids and adults or spinach potato sandwich or just potato sandwich. You can use leftover sabji like potato curry or carrot beans curry as a filling for sandwich.

When packing dosas, make thick and spongy dosas as thin dosas will be become hard and unpalatable when eaten later. You can make uthappam with carrots or mixed vegetable uttappam to make it more healthy.Sponge dosa is also great for lunch as it will remain very soft until lunch time.

Chapati rolls or phulka with dry sabji works great for lunch. You can wrap it in aluminum foil to keep the rotis soft until lunch time.
