Not bread and cheese again!



Pita bread and a dish made of mozzarella (panneer-like cheese), spring onions, fresh mint leaves and red chilies.

This was a dish I invented as I went, so there is not much of a how-to. Heat a pan with half a teaspoon of oil. Once heated, add the red chilies, chopped mint leaves and spring onions for a minute, ensuring that the onions are fried well but not cooked completely.Add salt. Add the chopped cheese into the pan but don't keep it on for more than 15 seconds, it melts too much.
The bread of course was store bought and just heated up.
