A few weeks ago, you would have seen my post on Instagram about this new delicious Stonyfield Organic Double Cream yogurt and a box of incredible spices from Simply Organic that I received in the mail. All of a sudden, a lot of ideas came rushing in and I really had to work hard to filter some of them out. I picked Garam Masala from the spices I received and as you know there are so many recipes out there with garam masala and yogurt.

But I wanted to make something different. A little out of the ordinary but still not totally out of the way and highlighting the beauty of Indian cooking.

I opened the garam masala bottle and it had the fresh fragrance of all the spices in it and I really wanted to highlight that. And that Stonyfield Organic Double Cream yogurt is the most amazing – any whichever kind of yogurt you would have had. As the name suggests, it is so very creamy but also had a wonderful taste to it. It only hits the markets in February sometime, so you all will have to wait for it to get your hands on it. But please do not hesitate to grab one and put it in your cart, the moment you see it at a grocery store near you.

I wanted to use the yogurt in the marinade for the paneer and also as a dip or a sauce so as for it not be lost in the marinade alone but also to be enjoyed as a nice and creamy dip.

This is a very quick recipe with the paneer marinating for just 10 mins or so when you are prepping all the other ingredients. The onions are quickly pickled in some vinegar to give a different dimension of taste and the cucumbers and radish give some much needed crunch. The yogurt dip is made flavorful with some cilantro, mint and garlic and it balances out everything in the wrap.

Lets quickly get to the recipe then. Sorry, you have to go through so many pictures, but I loved all these pictures and really couldn’t choose any to be left out without sharing with all of you. I hop/e you enjoy them.
