Most of the time, thinking of kids friendly lunch box dishes are our main challenge. Most of the times, kids tend to bring back most of their lunch back because of many silly reasons. I personally feel that right dishes with perfect taste always makes them love their lunch. I try to experiment with many dishes and for my kids, and personally my kids love all rice varieties. Especially Cabbage rice and carrot rice are their favorite. This Cabbage Rice is pretty simple to make. Most of us make this same method and prepare poriyal but with this poriyal we can add rice and enrich with ghee and you won’t believe kids will love this awesome dish and for us the purpose of making them eat a vegetable also gets completed with this rice!
