Paneer Rolls

Jan 27, 2018 | Last Updated: Oct 20, 2019 | by Swati

 

There are times when you want to have something desi, something hatke(different), without the hassles of spending much time in the kitchen. This jhatpat(quick) Paneer Roll recipe is a saviour, for those times. These spicy filling with chutneys and sauces, onions and bell peppers of your choice, wrapped in a Roti(Indian flatbread) is a complete meal in itself and taste bud tickling food!!

These Paneer Rolls are healthy , wholesome(use whole wheat chapati) and filling..

It's Friday night and everyone in the house wants something different. These rolls come as a saviour when I am too in a mood to sit and relax and don't want to cook something elaborate.

I used tortilla wraps that saved the time for making chapatis, as I was in no mood to spend much time in cooking. You can use whole wheat chapatis, that I normally do. The filling is a very handy one.. it can be used as filling in sandwiches and burger buns and packed for kid's lunchbox.

To make the filling, stir-fry onions, bell peppers and paneer and then cook in tomato purée with masalas, till all the masala coats paneer pieces. Make dip for layering the roll, add green chutney with hung or thick curd/sour cream. To make roll, heat or warm the tortilla, layer it with lettuce, some filling, a spoonful more of chutney, roll and serve hot. You can use tomato ketchup instead of green chutney for kids. I layer the roti/tortilla with mayo tomato sauce, for my little one as he can't have the spicy green chutney. Add finely chopped onions marinated in lemon juice on the filling before rolling it.

These Rolls taste best when having it fresh, in case you plan to make it ahead of some party or for kids lunch box, some tips can help you in keeping the roll away from turning soggy.

  • Skip layering the tortillas/chapati with sauce or chutney as the liquid content in it will turn the base soggy.
  • Or mix chutney with greek yogurt/sour cream.
  • Let the filling cool down as hot filling also makes the outer wrap soggy,
  • Layer the tortilla/chapati with lettuce(if using) first then top with the filling.

So let's start with the ingredients and then see the method to make 'Jhatpat Paneer Rolls'.

You can wrap half of the roll in a butter paper to serve. Also if you are packing for lunch, wrap in aluminium foil. ( See the tips above if you are packing for lunch or making ahead of a party).

With lettuce, you can add other salad veggies of your choice like grated carrots. I like adding lettuce only.

Mushrooms can also be used for filling along with paneer if you like it. Will shortly update Mushroom Kathi Roll Recipe.

Paneer filling can be used for making sandwiches as I said earlier and it goes well with plain chapatis as a side dish with any dals or curries like Dal Tadka, Dal Makhani.

Vegan can add Tofu in it instead of Paneer. Use any gluten-free tortilla for the roll.

Try these yummy and easy to make rolls for a quick dinner and enjoy with the beverage of your choice!!
