New Week New Recipes and New Tiffin Ideas. I am someone who gets really bored of cooking the same thing again and again and so bringing in some more recipes with a little twist. Seeing my interest in doing recipe innovation, my son is also used to having new dishes. If I repeat a dish in a week or so he will be like “Mummy roz roz ek hi khana” – “Mummy, Everyday the same dish”. So to make sure that he doesn’t get bored with the food I prepared bhindi roll and poha. Let me share with you how I brought the twist.
So for Lunch – Bhindi (Ladyfinger) Roll
This time I just changed the style of slicing bhindis. The bhindis were thinly sliced and with that I also used thinly sliced onions. Rest the recipe was same as was shared in my previous blog (link shared below).
But trust me this simple change in way I sliced it brought a lot of change in the taste and my kid went all gaga over it.
