Cottage Cheese & Veggie Wraps

There are times when people do ask me, how I survived more than 5 years in a foreign country being a pure vegetarian. They are shocked to know that I do not even eat eggs.

Honestly, I did face a bit of challenges, coping with the food habits here, as it would be difficult for me to eat outside. During those initial years, I would go to Little India to eat and shop for Indian vegetable. It is a very vibrant place, where I get a feeling of being in a south Indian town.

During my initial years, here I would visit Little India every week to do my grocery and vegetable marketing. Now I only go their once in a month not to come back with bags full of vegetable but to buy some authentic Indian Sweets, Mangoes (Alpansoes) and to indulge in chaats. I think with time I have adopted (May be I can put it as I Prefer) to go to Cold Storage or Fair price to shop for the daily Meals.

When I went for my weekly spree at fair price this Wednesday, I bought all the colourful veggies. Next thing that stuck my head was to make this Veggie and Cottage cheese wraps.

If you are looking for some other ways to eat colourful veggies, try Pasta and veggie Salad or Vegetable sandwich as well.

Most of my recipes like Hummus Sandwich are Healthy and are made from scratch and this is no different as well.

For wraps I have used 100% wheat flour. Rolled it out into big round, filled it with Flavourful seasoned vegetables and marinated cottage cheese.
