    This Paneer Wrap is based on a popular indian street food, Kathi Roll. It is absolutely one of my favourite meals. Being Indian, I  love indian street food but never really got to experience it in the way i would have liked when we went to India because my dad and street food don’t get on. We weren’t allowed to even dream about tasting street food. If i went to India now, i would taste ALL of it! I think street food is a huge part of India's charm. Along with the hustle and bustle, vivid colours, tooting rickshaws, animals wondering in the roads, the chaiiwala (Tea stall), the bartering and the noise.. The smell in some areas and the heat i can do without.

    The paneer here is coated in a spicy rub, cooked with green pepper, topped with a delicious mint sauce and lime pickled red onions (yes I'm obsessed with them). They sit on top of a roll (for ease and to make it healthier, in this case it's a wrap).

    So today, my daughter has woken up early. I generally write these posts at 5 am. I can't seem to get this one done because she wants mummy time. My kids believe that as soon as it is light outside, it means that it is day time so they never attempt to get back to sleep regardless of the time. (Thank you Nursery!). To top it off, i have a banging headache again and my nose is blocked. Lovely.

    I have mentioned via snapchat and maybe in a previous post that i am at my mum's at the moment and she doesn't have a kitchen because she is having a new one fitted. It's hard work! It's bad enough not having a sink or gas cooker but the fact that the contents of the entire kitchen are not as organised as they usually would be, makes it really tough to put a meal together. Seriously the kitchen element is like camping. It reminds me of being in a tent. Quite an experience!

    Anyway, please try these paneer wraps. They are so delicious, aromatic and moreish. Everyone who has them loves them and they usually make their way into the kitchen again in the hopes of getting some more.

      I know all about redoing a kitchen -- we were without counters, cooktops, water and faucets for two weeks -- just before CHRISTMAS! I know! That you can make something like these wraps without a kitchen is a testament to your determination and resourcefulness!

      Looks and sounds amazing! I love those spices, so I think I definitely need to try this! I recently went to a restaurant that had pickled vegetables and they were so good.

      My kids were always the same way. I swear my 13 year old has gotten up at 6 AM all of his life. He just can't sleep in. I have never had a paneer wrap but it looks gorgeous with all the freshness and color!
