How to pack food for travel
During this covid period when we travel we hesitate to have food from outside. So decided to share this post.
Recently I had to travel so had to pack food for dinner. Instead of using plastic material for packing I have used healthy,biodegradable bananaleaf and paper for packing.
When we heat banana leaf it will not tear.So it will be easy and flexible.Wash the leaf first and then heat the leaf.
I packed idlis, place idlis apply oil and then chutney .
Wrap then cover it with newspaper and put a rubber band.
Same way you can pack chappathi or rice too.
