Paneer Sandwich

                                                              ' Paneer' ! You name it and kids  would love it. I made this easy paneer sandwich today.It is an easy, simple and kids-friendly recipe. Perfect for lunch boxes too.You can  add a few more vegetables like capsicum or corn to this recipe and use the filling.With the same filling you  can make chapathi rolls also. I have used a grilling sandwich toaster here. You can easily do it on a tawa on a gas stove. So what are you waiting for ??

Dahi Puri/Dahi Batata Puri

                                                          Dahi puri is a Chaat recipe made with soothing curd. It is one of our favorite chaat items, because there is sweet curd in it, which gives a soothing taste.Yes, sometimes the spice in other chaats becomes too much, so we prefer to eat Dahi puri. If you have the chutneys and a packet of puris and  ready it is easy to make.You have to eat it immediately, otherwise the moisture in the chutneys and the curd will make the puris soggy.
