I usually pack these in Lil’M’s lunch box as these are her favourite…..I have already mentioned bread is something which she loves a lot and I look out for recipes which include bread. These days more healthy bread options are easily available in market….and I make it a point to pick up whole wheat bread or rye bread from store whenever possible…as a loaf in fridge is always handy when kiddo troubles me in deciding her lunch box or when I am in doubt what to pack in for her.
Sometimes I pack two sandwiches along with a fruit or handful of dry fruits in her lunch box and whenever I do so…..the box has come empty always and I am happy….so today’s recipe is one such recipe which I make on regular basis for my darling daughter.
So this will be my second and last recipe which I am contributing to Kids Lunch Box Recipes Book Event by Indusladies.

these sandwiches look so good… I do make them when I have leftover curry… I really understand the feeling when kids have holidays, though it does not excite me much as I have to still go to work… hehe…
