Paneer, Mushroom and Spinach Wrap

If you can't be bothered to make all the bits, the wrap works well without the mushrooms and also without the paneer; the spinach paste is the only necessary element. I sometimes make this with tofu when I have some lying around.

Why it works: Spinach and mushroom work together. They rank in the top 4% of all ingredient pairs, and 778 recipes mention both. Both carry trans-2-decenal, which smells waxy, orange. The science ↓

Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

Flavor stand-ins for the peanut

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (spinach, coriander, garlic, ginger, lemon, pepper, flour):

  1. Chickpeabetter flavor fit
  2. Sesamebetter flavor fit
  3. Cashew nutbetter flavor fit
  4. Peanutthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against spinach, coriander, garlic, ginger, lemon, pepper, flour. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
