#zaike - A very simple and a yummy breakfast / snack that takes very little time to dish out. This pasta snack has the goodness of some mixed veggies and is an ideal after school snack for kids. They can also be packed for a lunch box meal too along with a sprinkle of some idli podi (gunpowder). Any other veggies other than the ones used can be added to make it more healthy and nutritious.
