Hawaiian beauty | Green moong sprout chilla | Kids Lunch Box Ideas

Hi Peeps..hope you are having a good weekend. We have  a long weekend here coinciding with hubby's bday..

I am also super excited to be part of the blogging marathon which is such a enthusiastic event in food blogging world! This being my first participation..I am nervous and happy both :)

I chose the easiest category - kids recipes. Though the category is easy but it is no easy task to feed a fussy eater..I am the witness to that..sometimes feel so sad and sometimes at my nerve's end. Sometimes when the little one displays a clean plate..then I feel like I have won an Olympic gold medal! I am sure this would be the case for most mum's out there. 

In one such pursuit of happiness, this is my humble attempt to entice my princess to gobble the beautiful Hawaiian lady! 

I made the face with the green moong sprout batter. The hair using lettuce. It has a big flower bow made of chilla. The eyes using carrot and cherry. Mouth made of carrot. The little one was excited to see what mumma was doing, had a go at the chilla..but there is a long way to go before I sleep! 

Do let me know how you liked it. do share the pics if you try this :)

Heat nonstick pan and grease with some oil. Take a portion of the batter (abt 1/2 cup).

Put in the pan making a round chilla. Put some oil around the chilla.When one side is almost brown and gets easily removed from the pan, turn over the other side.

Cook for 2 to 3 mins. Turn it back you can put grated cheese on one side. Let the cheese melt for a min and then fold and remove the chilla from pan . (I did not add cheese for this version of mine)
