    Notes

    1. If you are vegan, then skip ghee and butter and use any cooking oil.
    2. You can also add some chopped mint for extra flavor.
    3. ¼ cup of grated cheese also can be added to the paneer filling to make spinach cheese paratha.
    4. Best if homemade paneer is used since it will be softer than store brought.
    5. You can also add finely chopped onions to the paneer filling.
    6. If you have leftover paneer bhurji, you can use it as a filling for this paratha.

    SNACK – Tomato Ketchup - I used organic ketchup but can also pack mayonnaise or yogurt with paratha as a side.

    SNACK – Blueberries– I always use organic berries and wash them before packing them into the lunch box.

    Prep Work For The Previous Evening

    1. You can prepare spinach (palak) chapati dough the previous night and also crumble paneer prior helps to save some time in the morning.

    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 to your kids, they are toxic.
    • You can increase or decrease quantity based on your child’s appetite.
