Sandwiches prepared with brown bread with a healthy filling is great for lunch. Try proteinpackedkidney bean sandwichwhich is good for both kids and adults or spinach potato sandwichor justpotato sandwich.You can use leftover sabji likepotato curryorcarrot beans curryas afilling for sandwich.

When packing dosas, make thick and spongy dosas as thin dosas will be become hard and unpalatable

when eaten later. You can makeuthappam with carrotsor mixedvegetable uttappamto makeit more healthy.Sponge dosais also great for lunch as it will remain very soft until lunch time.
