Healthy paneer wrap recipe

On September 17, Shagun Malhotra, an Instagram food creator who goes by My Food Project, posted her recipe for a healthy paneer wrap. According to her, she started having this dish to be fitter in her 30s. It packs in 26 g of protein and only 460 kcal. “A colourful, crunchy, and wholesome wrap to help you be fitter in a yummy and happy way,” Shagun wrote in the caption. Here's how to make this dish:

Ingredients

Paneer cube - 200g

Haldi powder - ½ tsp

Red chilli powder - 1 tsp

Salt - 1 tsp

Chaat masala - 1 tsp

30 spinach leaves - boiled

Wheat flour - 1.5 tbsp

Milk - ⅓ cup

Egg - 1

Black pepper powder - 1 tsp

Salt to taste

Cream cheese

Lettuce

Onions - sliced

Red and yellow bell pepper - sliced

Tomato - sliced

Method

Step 1: In a pan, spray some oil. Once the oil is heated, place a 200g slab of paneer in the pan. Sprinkle the paneer with some haldi powder, red chilli powder, salt, and chaat masala.

Step 2: Coat the paneer with the spices evenly and cook it until the outer coating becomes crisp. Take out the paneer and cut large rectangular slabs for the wrap.

Step 3: Now, in a mixer, add boiled spinach leaves, wheat flour, a splash of milk, an egg, black pepper powder, and salt to taste. Grind everything together until you get a smooth paste.

Step 4: In a non-stick pan, add some butter or ghee, then pour the mixture. Cook it evenly, and you have your wrap.

Step 5: Once the wrap is cooked, prepare your sauteed vegetables for the filling. In a pan, cook sliced onions, red and yellow bell peppers, and capsicum in the spice mix of your choice.

Step 6: To assemble everything, take the wrap and spread a spoonful of cream cheese. Line it up with lettuce, sauteed vegetables, paneer and freshly sliced tomatoes. Fold the wrap to secure everything and enjoy with any favourite dip.
