School tiffins are the bane of a parent’s life! The planning, preparing and packing… all made worse when you realise your child hasn’t eaten the tiffin at school! Most school going children carry one to three meal portions, depending on the length of their school day. These meals easily account for up to 60% of their daily energy and nutrient requirement. But how does one ensure that the kids actually eat the tiffin? Involving the child in the planning, preparation and packing process can invoke a sense of accomplishment, making the child less resistant to the contents of the tiffin box. The best part about these kid friendly recipes is that you can involve a child as young as four years in their preparation. And they can both be cooked in advance without fear of spoilage.
