It feels just like yesterday I started the kids lunchbox series and now I am here with Idea #10…time jsut runs so fast….Today’s lunch box is sure a kids favorite one with vegetable fried rice, tomato ketchup and a fruit of your kids choice and I chose papaya this time.Mittu loves fried rice either veg or egg she loves it…..It is always advisable to eat egg dishes as soon as its made so its better that we dont pack it to school so I chose veg fried rice for todays lunchbox. We always love the dishes served at restaurants and then try to replicate it at home or I should admit thats what happens in my case…but the reverse is true for mittu, yes she is fond of homemade fried rice that now she has started to taste it in restaurants too.
I bought this lunchbox just for clicking sake but loved the compartments with lid, I wish I find a stainless steel one just like this for packing mittus lunchbox next year…will start hunting for it now 🙂
Note : I use Plastic containers just for pic sake as its colorful, but I am planning to pack for mittu only in stainless steel containers as I feel its more safe.

February 21, 2014 at 1:07 pmsharmi let me know what brand of basmathi rice u use? because the one i use is not lengthy .your's is seriously lengthy as well as photogenic.
SHARMILEE J says
February 21, 2014 at 1:17 pmI usually use India Gate but the one I used for these pics was Double Deer, both are equally good. If India gate is not available I get Double Deer….India Gate you have many varieties like Dubar,Tibar,Super, Classic etc I have tried almost all of them and nothing to complain much….:)

February 21, 2014 at 1:32 pmYes India gate does not give length grain, try Double Deer, taste is also good.
