When it comes to making your own lunch or your kids’ lunches you’re sometimes lost as to what to pack.School starts in a few weeks and I can see myself fretting over what to pack in my Ten year old’s lunchbox. For starters, my daughter does not like sandwiches and I end-up making some kind of pasta dish almost every other day for her lunch.I know that she’s fond of Wraps but then again she doesn’t want cold-cuts inside and that has got me thinking of coming up with something that she would love, like these Indian Spiced Chicken Meatball Wraps that are healthy and packed with flavor to please all those picky eaters (kids and adults)!
My Indian Spiced Chicken Meatballs are baked in the oven, have tons of flavor from the coriander,garam masala, cilantro and mint!Whether you are a cilantro lover or hater you will love this recipe since I’ve used a combination of mint and cilantro that balances the flavor of both the herbs and is used extensively in Indian cooking.The grated onion keeps these meatballs moist and you can make a big batch of these and freeze them for later use.Use them in soups,curries,even as a tasty appetizer for your next party!The possibilities are endless!
For the wraps I use Whole wheat tortillas and any salad mix.I also make a simple raita using Plain Yoghurt with some salt and ground toasted cumin.You pack each item separately and assemble at lunchtime.Its a great variation from the usual and a fun way to enjoy Indian flavors!I made these for our dinner yesterday and got a big thumbs-up from my both my kids! 🙂
