Kids Special: Indian Vegetarian Bento Box # 7

Idli's, Orange and Raisins

1. Protein - Urad daal in idli
2. Carbohydrates - Rice in idli 
3. Fruits - Oranges
4. Vegetables / Snacks - Raisins

My daughters school has a Wednesday menu option of idli's and boy am I happy about it. I use a ready-made batter from a local udupi restaurant but grind your own if you are so inclined. I don't make instant rava idli because the urad daal version gives me a chance to add protein in her diet. 

Oranges are a great source of vitamin C and wedges are a fun way to eat as well. Deseed them properly and make smaller wedges. 

Raisins are high in iron, calcium and vitamin A. It also has B vitamins and is a high calorie food, giving instant energy for busy toddlers!
