kids love the taste of pesto. Originally I wanted to try pesto sundal but
after making the pesto my kids were commenting it would be good with bread. So I
had decided to make sandwich. It is perfect for kids lunch box or after school
snack too. Pesto and cow pea / black eye pea is perfect combo. After this I tried with chickpea I loved the combo with cow pea. Do try this and provide your feedback
