Paneer ‘n Spinach Wrap


Picture
As we watched the Colts and the Saints charge each other at the Super bowl on Sunday, our poor stomachs were under attack too. Bags of chips, salsa, peanuts, mozzarella sticks, beer, coke, pizza (and what not) were being guzzledd down faster than a quarterback running for a touchdown. Just to keep the food balance going, I decided to make a healthy paneer and spinach wrap, a one in all meal that couldn’t have been more perfect for the occasion. It was a great game and the company of close friends made it even more memorable.
