How come you are suggesting a meal which has oil frying as fried stuff is totally a no no during the one to two weeks you are down with chicken pox. It seems it aggravates the pox and they go angry red, itchy, or start to burn. Steamed veggies and fresh fruit are the best. Fresh juices are good esp citric juices which contain vitamin C. Oats and veggie soups are best. Oil, butter, ghee are to be avoided and all sorts of fried stuff.

Lemons and oranges makes citric acid which makes the rashes more
itchy....
