[quote=Anonymous]Ada Rolls:
Wash and soak half cup split urad dal, half cup chana dal, and half cup rice. Soak the rice and lentils for at least three hours, then blend to a smooth batter (pancake batter/dosa batter consistency). Add turmeric powder and salt. You can also add pepper, garlic, ginger, and green chillies if you like when you are blending the batter, but our kids don't care for the extra spices.
Once the batter is blended, cook the ada like a dosa. Before taking it off the stove I put shredded cheese on the ada, and then roll it up. If you like, you can also add half a cup of mixed vegetable puree to the ada batter before cooking the adas (half cup veggies--spinach, broccoli, peas, and carrots--steamed and then pureed).

Chapati rolls are basically chapatis smeared with cream cheese, with cut up chicken nuggets in the center with some shredded cheese that is rolled up like a wrap.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Indian, and our kids have taken ada rolls (ada is a lentil + rice pancake rolled up with grated cheese), besan chilla rolls (chickpea flour + semolina flour pancakes), chapati rolls (I spread cream cheese on the chapatis and often put chicken nuggets or chicken kababs in them--the kids love them!). Our kids have refused to take rice, so  it's typically easy to eat foods that I pack. 
The kids also take the usual mac and cheese, pasta, grilled cheese sandwiches etc...[/quote]

New poster.

Can you provide recipes for the ada rolls and chapati rolls? [/quote][/quote]
