Pita Bread + Indian Paneer?

How do you make your pita bread? I personally adore the combination of the traditional paneer recipe and slightly-toasted pita bread with a cup of hot chocolate! 

Servings: Makes 4    |    Difficulty: Easy!

Here is how I make it:

       

You will need...  Pita bread pockets - I like Mission Pita Bread Pockets Plain from Woolworths  Scrambled Paneer Butter Nando’s Spicy Sauce

1)    Prepare the scrambled Paneer and set aside to cool. (Recipe below) 2)    Toast Pita break lightly with butter. 3)    Use a knife to evenly spread the Nando’s spicy sauce in the inner-walls of the bread. 4)    Depending on your preferred amount of filling, insert the scrambles Paneer in the bread. 5)    Grab your favourite drink to serve as a perfect side!
