    As this recipe takes less than 10 minutes to cook , this becomes one of the easiest recipe to get into lunch box along with some chapati. Its nutritious and healthy too. Few of my readers had requested for healthy and tasty , lunch box recipes. So I thought this recipe will definitely fill into this category . Its not only easy to make but it tastes delicious and also nutritious too. 

    Factors on which I plan a meal either for lunch box or at home are : carbs, proteins , vitamins and minerals. Carbs are mainly from Roti or Rice , Protein portion depends either its from  bowl of curds  or paneer or dal . And vitamins & minerals from vegetables only at meal time. I will never add fruit for lunch or lunch box. Fruit should be either for snacking (short break in school for kids ) or an empty stomach . 

    Lunch Box Plan : With this Spring Onion stir fry recipe  , vitamins, minerals  and fiber ( Spring Onion ) along with protein portion ( besan / gram flour) is delivered .   Carbs from roti , cucumber and carrots as salads and butter milk to end the meal . As one may feel food to be bit dry , butter milk with pinch of hing / asfoetida will do justice to food consumed for proper digestion and absorption of the nutrients.  I just thought to share this here , as one may easily plan on for lunch box without thinking much on making it a Balanced Diet.   

    Spring onions are very rich vitamin C and Calcium .These are also a good source of dietary fibre and vitamins A and B6, thiamine, folate and minerals with good antibacterial and antifungal properties . Always choose spring onions with healthy, fresh, dark green leaves also avoid spring onions with slimy leaves and soft bulbs.
