Recently, a video purportedly showing a young boy cooking his tiffin before dawn has taken Instagram by storm. In @life_of_two_boys’ reel, we see the boy, formally dressed in trousers and a shirt, putting together the various elements of his lunch box. He opens the refrigerator to take out already kneaded dough (bread dough) and a packet of chicken nuggets. He puts some of the latter in the air fryer. He also opens a packet of instant noodles and lets them cook for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, he rolls the dough to make double layer paratha. One of the layers contains chocolate spread. He carefully seals the edges of the paratha and then cooks it on the pan with a little oil. As it roasts, he uses a special slicer to slice the apples off in one go. After this he is seen putting the apple pieces in a bowl of water. After this, he cuts the paratha into 4 pieces and shows it to the camera with a thumbs up.
He places his lunch box on the kitchen counter and starts filling its various parts with his prepared food. Instant noodles are in a closed compartment, while paratha and nuggets are in separate compartments. Lastly, he places a few pieces of apple and half a piece of sweet corn on the cob. He is seen eating a piece of paratha and enjoying it before closing his tiffin box. The text of the video simply reads, “It’s 4 in the morning. Let’s make my ‘lunch box’.” Take a look below:
