Tired of the regular Mumbai sandwich? Sushi Fusion it is!!! Yeah, made these tricolor Paneer/tofu spinach roll ups with bread. Kids loved it as it was yummy and attractive… These super cool looking easy to eat pinwheels were a win win at the breakfast table today. It looked similar to the Indian flag kids drew in the morning (a great learning) and it tasted super yummy!! The recipe for perfect sandwich chutney is here coriander chutney.
Loaded with paneer and spinach this appetizer was as good with its looks, taste and preparation time. Paneer is one of our favourites just like shahi paneer and palak paneer. Spinach is yet another greens I prefer in most of my cooking like the spinach thepla, spinach nuggets, soups etc. These roll ups easy to grab and go sandwiches are inspired from the sushi rolls. They are recreated with vegetarian fillings and made like a grab and go sandwich pinwheel.
Today is January 26 and Indians celebrate this special day as the country’s Republic Day. I celebrated this day with my friends and family. Being in the USA since a very early age my kids are certainly unaware of the Indian culture. To create awareness of the country flag colors, we drew the flag and colored it. But I wanted them to always remember the colors in the flag. What can be a better fun learning way for them?
