Welcome to A to Z of tiffin ideas with me.
I am trying to give AtoZ suggestions for lunch box woes and today is Day 25 with letter Y.
So Let’s pack the Y Tiffin
Yellow Rice
Yogurt
Yellow Passion Fruit
Yunnan Hackberry
Yangmei
Yogurt
Look for Greek yogurt with live active cultures, which not only contains a healthy dose of probiotics supporting digestive health but is also a go-to snack rich in calcium and protein that can be blended with fresh fruit, granola, nuts, cinnamon, honey…the possibilities are endless!
A little gyan-
Curd or Dahi is a dairy product made by curdling the milk with an edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar whereas Yogurt is created by bacterial fermentation of milk by using yogurt culture that consists of Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Yogurt is made by fermenting milk with yogurt culture.
Yellow Rice is a name given by my kiddo to Maharashtrian style fried rice also known as phodnicha bhaat.
My kiddo loves it and so he always asks me yellow tice in Tiffin. This rice can be made with leftover overnight rice also.
It has so many names like – phodnicha bhat or lemon rice, or chitranan, tadka rice, or seasoned rice.
