-

As a parent, you're always trying to pack healthy, tasty, and easy meals for your kids—especially for school lunches and daily tiffins. Here's a simple Indian meal plan for kids that’s not only nutritious but also exciting for picky eaters.

🥗 Why Kids Need Balanced Meals

Children are growing fast and need a perfect balance of proteins, carbs, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Meals packed with whole foods help improve focus, energy, and immunity.

🧒 Weekly Indian Meal Plan for Kids (Mon–Fri)

Day Tiffin/Lunch Evening Snack
Monday Mini vegetable paratha rolls + curd Fruit chaat + murmura bhel
Tuesday Idli with coconut chutney + boiled eggs Banana milkshake + roasted makhana
Wednesday Paneer sandwich with cucumber sticks Homemade popcorn + buttermilk
Thursday Veg pulao + boondi raita Dry fruit laddoo + lemon water
Friday Stuffed bhindi + roti + mango pickle Fruit yogurt + murmura

🍱 Tiffin Tips for School Lunch

  • Use colourful lunchboxes to attract younger kids
  • Include at least 1 fruit and 1 protein-rich item daily
  • Keep rotis small and soft—cut into triangles or roll them
  • Avoid messy sabzis—dry or semi-dry works best

🌱 Tips for Picky Eaters

  • Blend vegetables into parathas, dosas, and chutneys
  • Give creative names to dishes like “Power Pulao” or “Rainbow Roti”
  • Involve kids in choosing 1 meal each week
