Having school holidays and a working mom id definitely not the best combination. It does give the freedom of sleeping as much as you like coz mum is not around. But that hungry tummy pangs cannot be taken care off with warm freshly cooked food every afternoon… Hmm. Now that’s quite not right, isn’t it?
Yes, I do agree as a mum I do feel that all mums should have school holidays too irrespective of what industry they work. It makes up for all that guilty feeling of leaving the kids in day camps or finding someone to look after them.
Since I woke up with a head full of these thoughts I was trying to make that everyday sandwiches a bit better today. So what is the best quick pleaser…
Paneer!!!
Paneer is the easiest made cheese from the Indian subcontinent. Acidulated milk solids drained and pressed are the yummiest crumbliest ones.
Here is how I made grilled paneer sandwiches with pesto
Do I need to say that chaat is a pleaser?
Once you have acquired a palate for this ultimate flavour explosion called chaat, there is no turning back.
