Can have them for dinner, but packing for lunch is not something I like to do.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the ideas Nupur. I think I can make sandwiches and wraps with the curries I make than eat the same curry with rice.. ting.. ting.. I think I hear my "Beja Bell" ringing.. Thanks again.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Priya for the tip on freezing rotis.. I think its way better than buying frozen rotis from the Indian store. Will definitely give them a try. See Nupur's comment for ideas on sandwiches.. May be it will help you too.Pavanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485885312519727608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27958335.post-64408586693006099112008-10-22T14:46:00.000-04:002008-10-22T14:46:00.000-04:00I have the very same problem with lunches.

Now a days I take dal or soup with a few slices of toasted bread, otherwise its pasta for the most part or fried rice style dishes.<BR/><BR/>Usually I make chapati's in bulk, like say I need 3 per meal I will make about 12-15 and wrap 3 chapatis in parchment paper and then Al foil and stack them in the freezer. They have lasted in there for more than a month. I've also frozen chutneys, a few spoonfuls in a ziploc bag, and I wrote about my frozen dal in my latest post. Well, I will stop now!Priyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535326222601384563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27958335.post-32946265047479982802008-10-22T07:25:00.000-04:002008-10-22T07:25:00.000-04:00That looks like a delicious and comforting lunch! ...That looks like a delicious and comforting lunch! I like packing sandwiches for lunch as long as the filling is something quite dry and non-soggy (like dry potato-vegetable filling with some cheese or thick chutney).<BR/> But much more often than sandwiches, I make burritos for lunch. Sometimes with a Mexican-style filling of sauteed onions and peppers, soy "meatballs" or beans. And often, Indian-style: dabbing my favorite pickle on a tortilla and stuffing it generously with whatever Indian style dry vegetable stir-fry I have made, then rolling up tightly. It tastes delicious hot or cold. If you live near a Trader Joe's store, I love their whole-wheat tortillas. <BR/> I'm enjoying your vegan month here, Pavani :)Nupurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890441057480820053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27958335.post-47273667311489958122008-10-21T17:39:00.000-04:002008-10-21T17:39:00.000-04:00That curry looks very tasty!

It doesn't seem to bother some people, but I hate it!Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13264576743630783877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27958335.post-47112222792652875762008-10-21T14:40:00.000-04:002008-10-21T14:40:00.000-04:00i love potato curry .. my all time fsvoritei love potato curry .. my all time fsvoriteDeepthi Shankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265582365496843998noreply@blogger.com
