Healthy tiffin box contest

Healthy tiffin box- my dish 'Pau bhaji parata':

This was my first cooking contest in which I participated in my sons school. The topic was 'healthy tiffin box'. This contest was organised by Popular School for parents of the students only. We had to prepare a dish which is healthy and nutritous for our children keeping into mind that it had to be accumulated in their tiffin boxes.

My son was in lower kg, nearly 4 yrs old and I had to keep his age in mind to prepare a dish which suits his taste and is healthy too!! I often prepared different kinds of parathas for his tiffin like aloo parata, Gobi parata, paneer parata which he enjoyed in his tiffin. However, to participate in this contest I thought to prepare something different. So just a week before the contest I tried my hands on preparing a mix vegetable parata with pau bhaji as a tastemaker and to my surprise, my son loved it a lot. So yes, I thought that I shall prepare the same for the contest.

Since it is 7 yrs old event, that time I didn't have a good cell to capture the picture of my dish presented for the contest. But yes I remember, I had named my dish-' pau bhaji paratha' and presented it on a banana leaf. I won 2nd consolation prize for the same and received-Yera glass bowl set of 6 as a winning prize token. Picture of the same shown below.

It was my first beautiful experience participating in a cooking contest and I had lot of fun. Everybody praised on my innovation and it was a good motivation for me to try my hands on different dishes.

Now also I often prepare this pau bhaji parata for my sons tiffin and still he loves it a lot.

A recent click of the parata captured on my cell is posted above. I have also updated my blog with its post with recipe whose link I have given.
