Tips :

  1. Make the wrap dough with hot water to keep it soft through out the day till lunch break.
  2. Use any spread be it organic readymade cheese or pizza sauce or skip it totally.
  3. For bigger kids, fresh chopped green chillies is an option but skip it for little ones.
  4. You can use garam masala, ½  teaspoon too. (Optional)
  5. Don’t fill the wrap too much to prevent it from falling apart.
  6. Note : I have used the thread & papers for fun & food styling! You can too or just keep it simple.
