I am excited and happy as I start my guest post series on Evergreendishes. It’s been on my mind since a long time and did have many requests, but I was never ready then. Today, I have Palak Paneer Wrap by Sasmita.
Welcome Sasmita to my blog space, glad to have you here! I have known her since a long time. She is a wonderful cook who creates delicious dishes of many kind. Do visit her blog www.firsttimercook.comToday, she has a wonderful palak paneer wrap for all of us.
A few spinach recipes from the blog : Spinach rice Corn Palak Veg Hariyali Palak Chutney
Over to Sasmita:
Palak paneer is one of the most popular North Indian dish. The dish is basically some soft paneer cubes cooked in a smooth spinach gravy. Here I have come up with a twist to the famous palak paneer as Palak Paneer Wrap. The ingredients are same, but instead of adding spinach to the paneer while cookig, the puree is added to the wheat flour. Then a wrap is prepared with some cooked paneer cubes as filling. These wraps are so healthy and kids friendly too. Do try

Thank you so much jayashree, I am so glad to be a part of your guest post series.
My pleasure Sasmita !
This is such a healthy wrap.. specially for those who don’t like palak. Good for kids too.
What a wonderful idea to use palak to make the wraps. Adding paneer to it makes it a winner with all, old and young.
A healthy wrap with stuffed veggies and paneer is a perfect brunch or snack box idea for kids. Sasmita has done a fine job in both the recipe and the photograph.
I loved the idea of using palak in making wraps as other wise palak is not liked by many, like me 🤣
Such a healthy and tasty wrap with filling of paneer.
Lovely share by Sasmita, looks super delicious 🙂 I usually make palak rotis and then make stuff them with different fillings for the kids. These colored rotis go down well with them 😀
