KIDS LUNCH BOX #2 - Mini Paneer Uttapam + Tomato Ketchup + Carrot Sticks

Disclaimer: I am not a nutritionist or a dietician,  I am doing what is best for my kid to create a balanced lunch.

Paneer Uttapam: Soft and savory uttapam/pancakes topped up with grated paneer, carrots, onion, tomatoes, freshly chopped chilies, and coriander. I usually make uttapam from leftover idli/dosa batter.

Here is what I packed for school lunch…

    Does this need to be reheated before serving or can be eaten room temperature?

      It tastes best if eaten hot with coconut chutney. Hope this helps
