15 Lunch Box Recipes Kids Won't Bring Home

3. Paneer & Veg Wraps

Paneer and veg wraps are soft, handheld, and less likely to be returned than a dry sandwich. Lightly pan-fry cubes of paneer with mild bell peppers and onion, keeping seasonings simple—salt, a pinch of cumin, and a drizzle of lemon. Use a soft flatbread or whole-wheat tortilla, spread a thin layer of hung curd or yogurt mixed with a little chaat masala, then roll tightly and cut into halves. The key is not overstuffing; a snug roll stays put during transit. These wraps take about 20 minutes to prepare if paneer is ready. Wrap them in beeswax wrap or parchment to hold shape. If nut-free is needed, avoid spreads with nuts and use plain yogurt. Presentation helps: cut on a diagonal and pack with colourful fruit for balance.
