Baked Broccoli Nuggets recipe. Easy and Healthy school lunch box snack idea. 5 ingredient recipe. We call it as HULK green nuggets. Kid friendly food.
When my son was in preschool, he had a very good friend called Jeremy. They both were like buddy buddies. They used to eat their lunch sitting next to each other, share their lunches, sleep next to each other during nap time, be there for each other the whole day at school. I wished they stayed together forever. But life, as always had other plans. Jeremy moved to France the same year we moved back to India. But, this Brocolli nugget has stayed with us as a remembrance of all nice things we enjoyed in USA. “Food is nothing but memories.” Longggggg back, like any other day after preschool, Vedant told me about his day at school. Usually it would be the castle that he built or the monster that attacked or the things he did at school. But that day he was so excited to talk about the Hulk nuggets that he had from Jeremy’s lunch box. I asked him, what was Hulk Nuggets? He told, Mommy, they were green Hulk nuggets. Jeremy told me that Hulk eats green food and that is why Hulk is green in colour. Green food gives a lot of muscles. So I also want to take Hulk nuggets to school. First I thought it was something to do with spinach. I saw Jeremy’s mommy a couple of days later at school and I spoke about the hulk nuggets and wanted to know more about the brilliant idea. She told me it was Broccoli Nuggets, and the naming I thought was a genius to get kids eat more veggies. Here is the picture of Hulk Nugget eating Super Heroes gang from school.

How to make bread Besan toast recipe. Made with chickpea flour batter. We call this as eggless savory french toast. Serve as a snack or breakfast.
Bread besan toast is an extremely easy and quick breakfast recipe that can be put together in 15-20 minutes. Perfect for busy mornings or for a lazy Sunday breakfast. I send this for school snack box too. This recipe is simple where Bread is dipped in chickpea batter and toasted on a griddle. We call this as eggless savory french toast. Serve as a snack or breakfast. Here is how to do it.
Sift a cup of besan (chickpea flour) to remove lumps. Add in the salt, turmeric and cumin seeds. I also add in a pinch of hing (asafoetida). Hing is optional. I add hing as it helps in digestion. Add 3/4 cup of water and make a batter. Set aside.
Chop the onion, green chillies and coriander leaves (cilantro) very very finely. Mince the garlic cloves. Add in these ingredients to the batter and mix well. Add water little by little, a tablespoon at a time if necessary. It should be a thick batter.
Heat a griddle until hot. Dip the bread in the batter and use your hands to spread the batter evenly on the bread. Turn the bread and make sure the batter has adhered to all over the slice of bread. Toast the bread both sides, on a low flame until brown and crisp and toasted.
Toasting on low flame is essential so it browns evenly. The chickpea batter might burn if cooked on a very high flame. So take time to toast the bread.
Serve hot with green chutney .
