   Hi Hetal and Anuja,

   First of all a very happy 2010 to you and your family!!

   Thanks a ton for this wonderful recipe. I was just wondering what I can pack for lunch for my son…this is such a fantastic idea. I am surely going to try this.

   Thanks again!

   Thanks Hetal and Anuja,

   I have never packed lunch from refregrated items.
   I either cook something simple in the morning or they eat school lunch.
   These wraps seems to be easy and simple for lunch. Since the kids eat lunch around 12 pm. will these tortillas and meat stay good that long outside? pls let me know. Thanks

   Hi Santa,

   Most lunch bags these days are insulated so the rolls would be fine until lunch time.

   Hi,
   This is a good one. I make it a little different. Put the chapatis on the tava. Cook it lightly on both the sides (until you have light brown dots). Smear little butter on both sides. To one side, pour little beaten egg. Smear it on the chapati(one side only). Egg will cook lightly due the hot chapati. Put some filling of your choice (dry – mutton / chicken keema or veggies)on the same side & close the chapati in the middle. The softness of the egg will make it stick. You can make it as a roll also. It tastes wonderful as well.

    Hi Sonal,

    If they were in the freezer, they should be just fine. Even in the fridge, tortillas have a pretty good life.

    Hi!!

    This is an amazing quick fixer upper, and for the vegetarians, I recommend using pesto as a dressing/spread, it taste amazing!!

    Pesto: food process basil, garlic, little bit of olive oil and some pine nuts (any nuts taste good).

    hie,
    I just wanted to know what is that transparent sheet like thing you have over your cutting board…and what its function is..

    hetal Reply:

    Hi Asha,

    The translucent sheet is called Silpat. It is a non-stick rectangle that you place in baking sheets so that things like cookies don’t stick to the pan. In this case, we were just protecting our cutting board – no real use.
