The “Y” tiffin
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.
- You just need 2 cups of steamed rice, the leftover is always welcome for this
- Oil 1 tbsp
- hing/ asafoetida 1 pinch
- mustard seeds 1tsp for tempering
- onion 1 finely chopped
- green chili 1 finely chopped
- red chili powder 1tsp
- turmeric powder 1 tsp
- salt to taste
- sugar 1/2 tsp
- peanuts, urad dal, other veggies, curry leaves are all optional
Instruction
- Break lumps and loosen out leftover rice with hand.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and add 1/2 tsp mustard seeds.
- Once they crackle, add a pinch of asafoetida (hing), 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, red chili powder, and 5-6 curry leaves.
- Add 1 &1/2 tbsp peanuts and 1 tbsp urad dal, and stir fry till pinkish brown.
- Add 1 green chili slit vertically and 1 small onion finely chopped and fry till it turns brownish.
- Reduce the gas to medium flame, add the rice, salt to taste, 1/2 tsp sugar, and mix well.
- Stir fry for a minute and turn off the gas.
- Garnish with finely chopped coriander and serve.

Thanks you liked the tiffin colors.
Yes we too call it lemon rice or phodnicha bhaat, but since it was kids tiffin so i used the word which my kiddo has kept as yellow rice.
Yes it’s yellow rice only, its just that my kiddo loves calling it yellow rice coz of its colour. Thanks for liking the blog.

Yes they are yum and fun in summers, enjoy!!
Is yellow rice same as lemon rice? Good options in Y tiffin.
Thanks a lot for liking the tiffin, yes yellow rice is similar to lemon rice or chitranan too.
Yogurt is a good tiffin idea. Abroad they sell different yogurts with fruit at the bottom. One can simply mix the fruit with yogurt at the time of eating. For calorie conscious, there is low fat yogurt. Even in India, we love our yogurt or dahi. It is healthy, it is good for gut and it is inexpensive.
Yes, truly said, it’s healthy and nutritious.
Even Yogurt rice! Loved the ideas
Thanks for liking tiffin ideas
We call yellow rice as Chitranna. Adding raw mango makes it tastier 🙂
Yes lemon rice, chitranan, phodnicha bhat, seasoned rice all are similar to this.
Just thinking how one will take yogurt in a tiffin though it is one of my favorite food. Will miss this daily tiffin from tomorrow.

Haha, well it can be packed in airtight small boxes or even packaged yogurts are readily available in the market.

You’re spoiling me with your yummy recipes. I hope to learn a few from you to pamper my family:)
Haha glad you liked the tiffins, sure do try they are fun.
We make the yellow rice with a dash of lemon juice and call it lemon rice! 🙂 I love it. Your photo looks appetizing!
Yes, this yellow rice is similar to lemon rice or chitranan, my kiddo love to call this seasoned rice as yellow and so it has got this name in my house. Thanks for liking the tiffin.
