Lauki Oats Besan Chila
Lauki or bottle guard is not among kid’s favorite veggies. Yet, there are ways you can incorporate it in your kid’s diet. One such way is this savoury pancake – we bet no one would be able to guess that it has lauki in it. This not-so-loved-veggie plays another role in this dish – it keeps the chila moist even after hours of making it. We have added oats too for extra fiber, so it will keep your kid full for longer time. So, you have another ideal lunchbox recipe in your arsenal!
