Packing a kid's lunch box is definitely a hard task especially for picky eaters. However i dont pack foods for my kids as they dont carry their lunch boxes. We are running a month of blogging marathon during this whole month of April. With 4 themes for 4 weeks, i have been posting for the past three weeks with different themes. And the final theme for this week is going to be Kid's Lunchbox recipes, after an easy breezy one pot meal, am posting a terrific paratha pockets which calls for a fabulous potato and minced meat filling. My family cant survive more than a day without eating meats, yes they are meat lovers.
Easy to pack, these potato minced meat paratha pockets can ask for a bit lengthy preparation but still if you plan well, this dish is quite easy to prepare. If you want to dish out the same dish with a vegetarian filling, please go with as you can mix and match your filling according to your tastebuds. However my choice of filling is potato and minced meat stuffing. Kids can carry this paratha pockets without any complaint in their lunch box. Easy to dish and delicious to enjoy, this paratha pockets are just prefect to pack in a kid's lunch box. You can prepare the same dish even with the store bought tortilla wraps, however personally i enjoyed making this filling paratha pockets with the usual chappathi dough which i prepare usually with the wheat flour.
