Instructions
Prepare the Paneer Filling:
- Heat oil in a pan and add the ginger-garlic paste. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Add sliced onions and bell peppers, and sauté until they become soft and slightly caramelized.
- Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt. Stir well to mix the spices.
- Add the paneer strips and gently toss to coat them in the spice mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, making sure the paneer is heated through but not overcooked.
- Sprinkle with lemon juice and remove from heat. Set the filling aside.
Assemble the Rolls:
- Warm the rotis or parathas on a skillet.
- Spread a layer of mayonnaise or yogurt, followed by green chutney, on each roti or paratha (optional, depending on your preference).
- Place the prepared paneer filling in the center of the roti.
- Garnish with fresh sliced onions, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of chaat masala for extra flavor.
- Roll the roti tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to form a wrap.
Serve:
- Serve the paneer rolls hot with ketchup, green chutney, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Note
- Paneer: If you want crispier paneer, you can lightly pan-fry the paneer strips before adding them to the filling.
- Spices: Adjust the spice level to your taste. You can add more chili powder or green chilies for extra heat.
- Wrap: For a healthier option, use whole wheat rotis or multigrain wraps.
- Vegetables: Feel free to add more veggies like shredded carrots, cabbage, or lettuce for added crunch and nutrition.
