Biryani added to anganwadi food menu in Kerala

The new menu, unveiled Tuesday, includes beloved dishes such as egg biryani, pulav, dal payasam, soya dry curry, and nutri laddus

When little Shanku's wish for biryani instead of the usual "upma” at his village anganwadi went viral three months ago, it caught the eye of Kerala Health Minister Veena George.

Now, thanks to that simple request, the state has overhauled the food menu in childcare centres across Kerala, offering children a wider variety of tasty and nutritious meals.

The new menu, unveiled Tuesday, includes beloved dishes such as egg biryani, pulav, dal payasam, soya dry curry, and nutri laddus. These dishes will replace the long-standing, more basic fare, bringing joy and better nutrition to thousands of children.
