Angel hair pasta tossed with colorful vegetable jalfrezi and peppery chicken. Some kids luv carrying noodles for school lunch and this could be one good alternative to try it warm or cold. During this winter season, most regular food jars, tiffin box or lunch boxes could not hold meal warm enough until lunch time. If you have a microwave at work then you can heat it up if not try those thermos products which keeps food warm, not too hot but at least warm enough to have. Excellent for carrying warm soup and Indian meals.
