Watching the whole family tuck into the weekly Sunday lavish meal while you enjoy a salad isn’t an option. With a little forethought and creativity you can enjoy exactly the same meal as everyone else with a fraction of the calories.Last sunday while preparing a regular spicy matar paneer for lunch I found an alternative option  for myself  ' matar Paneer Salad' ...which tested awesome with whole what pitta bread.
