As a parent, I've found that involving my little one in meal prep makes it fun 🎉 and instils healthy eating habits 🥦🍇. This was beautifully illustrated in our latest kitchen adventure, where we prepared a bento box for my daughter's school lunch. The star of the show? Her absolute favourite – Alphabet Fryums! 🌈🔠🍟
The bento box, a concept I adore for its portion control and variety, was a canvas for our culinary creativity 🎨🍴. We started with 'Kheera Koshimbir,' a delightful mixture of cucumber 🥒, curd, and peanuts 🥜, seasoned perfectly with rai and curry leaves kadhipatta. This dish is a refreshing blend of textures and flavours – the coolness of cucumber, the creaminess of curd, and the crunch of peanuts all coming together in a harmonious symphony 🎵🥗.
Next, we moved on to 'Triangle Parathas.' These are not just regular parathas; they're shaped into triangles, making them more appealing and fun for my little one 📐🍞. It's amazing how a simple change in shape can make the usual roti so exciting for kids 🌟.
Then came the 'Crispy Bhindi' - crispy, rightly spiced, and absolutely delicious 🌶️🍲. It's a great way to include vegetables in her diet; the crunchiness always wins her over 🥬👍.
But the highlight, the pièce de résistance of the meal, was the 'ABCD Fryums' 🎭🌟. Ever since I introduced these alphabet-shaped snacks to her, she has been in awe 😍. The excitement was palpable as she repeated, "Mommy, don't forget the ABCD Fryums for my tiffin!" 🎒🗣️. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and it reminded me of the simple joys of childhood 🎈👶.
Involving her in the decision to include the fryums was intentional 🤝🍽️. Allowing children to choose one element of their meal significantly boosts their excitement for mealtime 🥳. It gives them a sense of control and a connection to what they're eating 🌍👧🏽.
As I packed the bento box, I could see the joy in her eyes 👀❤️. It wasn't just about the food but the love and thought put into each compartment of that box 💌📦. It was a reminder that sometimes, the smallest things, like alphabet-shaped fryums, bring the greatest joy to our little ones 💖👼.
In conclusion, this bento box wasn't just a meal; it was an expression of love and a bridge to teaching my daughter about the joy of eating and the importance of healthy, balanced meals 🌉🍽️🥑. It's these little moments that make parenthood so incredibly special 👨👩👧💫.
