    For the second day of the third week of BM#66, I have another Lunch Box dish for Kids.

    Packing lunch boxes for school going children requires a lot of creative thinking and on top, we have to ensure we pack a balanced meal. Since kids spend very little time in actual eating, we have to send dishes that are easy for them to eat and enjoy before they get distracted by playing.

    Planning ahead during the weekend or at least the night before helps a lot. If you are planning on fried rice, you can cook the rice the previous night and refrigerate, this gives the best results. Kids love ingredients like Paneer, Channa, Corn, Potato, etc. Plan to include these ingredients along with other vegetables.

    Kulchas are made with Maida using curds and baking powder. In this version, wheat flour is used and stuffed with paneer filling. It stays good for the afternoon meal. I often make this for my kids and it is Konda's favorite one.



    Paneer Stuffed Wheat Kulchas
    Makes: 4 to 6 small sized kulchas
    Ingredients Needed:
    For the Kulchas:
    Wheat Flour - 2 cups
    Milk - 1/ /4 cup
    Curds / Yogurt - 1/ 4 cup
    Baking powder - 1 tsp
    Baking Soda - 1/ 2 tsp
    Salt to taste
    Oil 2 tbsp
    For Paneer stuffing:
    Paneer grated - 1+1/2cups
    Red chili powder - 1 tsp
    Cumin powder - 1 / 4 tsp
    Garam masala powder - 1 tsp
    Coriander leaves handful
    Salt to taste
    How to make the Kulchas
    In a bowl, add all the ingredients for the kulcha, knead well to a soft stiff dough. Let it rest for 10 mins until you make the stuffing.
    Grate the paneer in a bowl. Add the red chili powder, cumin powder, salt, garam masala, and coriander leaves to the grated paneer.
    Mix everything well. Divide into small sized balls
    Divide the dough into equal balls, Flatten the balls and stuff with the paneer filling. Seal the ball completely. Dust and roll out.
    Heat a nonstick pan, grease with oil, and cook the kulchas on both sides.
    Serve with curds and pickle of choice.
    Total time for cooking: 30 mins

        I have made these for my daughter's school lunch box and she used to like it. Since I have made this with wheat flour and curds, the kulchas remain soft.
