Spinach and Paneer Mini Frittatas
This bitesize Indian version of frittatas is perfect for breakfast or as a daytime snack. Hyderabad-based nutritionist, Dr. Lakshmi K, gives this classic Italian dish an Indian makeover.
This Indo-Italian egg dish is as simple as it is versatile, and delicious. While it is tempting to fill up a frittata with a whole lot of ingredients, this recipe aims to keep things simple and allow each ingredient to shine on its own. The spinach here is the star. Its mild flavour is embellished with sweet paprika, the smoothness of cottage cheese, a hint of rosemary, and the heat of chilli flakes. You can, however, mix it up with ingredients of your choice.
