    • Make balls from the dough. I was able to get six balls.
    • Take one ball and roll it into a small circular disc. Put about 2 tablespoon of the stuffing over it. Fold the edges and seal them—dust with some dry flour and roll the ball into a big circle.

    Notes

    • The chole should be cook in such a way that it should be soft but not mushy. Once the pressure is released, if there is excess water in the chole, drain water fully and then mash the chole.
    • You can use canned chickpea as well.
    • You can add finely chopped mint (pudina) for extra flavor.

    SNACK - Onion Raita - simple mix yogurt with salt, red chili powder, roasted cumin (jeera) powder and add in the finely chopped onion. Mix well. Pack this in a separate container with a leak-proof lid. Add a few teaspoons of milk to yogurt raita can help it not turn sour by lunchtime.

    SNACK - Mixed Fruits - I added a few pomegranate arils and cut apples into heart shapes using a cookie cutter.

    Prep Work For The Previous Evening

    1. You can prepare the dough at night and refrigerate it in an airtight container.
    2. You can soak chole for 6-8 hours the previous day and boil channa in the previous night and refrigerate in an airtight container.

    Notes

    • Packed in a stainless steel tiffin box called Lunchbots which is Eco-Friendly, Dishwasher Safe, BPA-Free and is easily available on Amazon. Do not use plastic lunch boxes for your kids, they are toxic.
    • For the soft chapati, it is important to cover the dough and set it aside for at least 20 minutes.
    • Adding a few teaspoons of milk to yogurt can help it not turn sour by lunchtime.
    • You can increase or decrease quantity based on your child's appetite.
