tiffin box lunches : i always wonder what to pack for my hubby's lunch. foods like sambar rice, kulambu rice are tasteless when they are mixed in the morning and taken during lunchtime .Mixed rices(tomato rice, lemon rice etc) cannot be given on a daily basis. (once a week, maybe). can anybody suggest some nutritious rice varieties for packed lunches?.
Any other ideas?

bought something called "diabetic brown rice"

grains looked long, so tried making pulao as normally done, found out they were not cooked, when cooked some more, turned out mushy, but alas still seemed not cooked when eaten; kind of like eating whole boiled wheat...
any help here?

while doing to potato fry.. is it necessary to boil the potato before frying??..

i tried without boiling it went on for 45 min but the taste was really gud..

what i do:
1)peel potatoes.. cut into small pieces..
2)heat oil in vaanoli and fry potatoes.. add chilli powder and salt.

what shud i add extra to make the taste different..
sila veetla .. oru maargama seyraanga.. remba nalla irrundhuchi..

i have also seen in some houses they add turmeric.. what else shud i add

Vaanoli means Radio. Its vaanali..

How abt kitchadi(diff dhal+rice combos) varieties + some veg subzi, veg pulavs+ steamed dhals(like sundal) etc... You can also try carrot rice, cabbage rice , beetroot rice etc... Chapathis with semi dry curries/dhals are good for lunch box...
