Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, ground coriander, ground cumin, garam masala, turmeric powder, chaat masala, red chili powder, lemon juice, and salt.
  • Add the cubed paneer to the marinade and gently toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30-45 minutes. This allows the paneer to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth and soft dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes pliable.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the dough and knead for another couple of minutes. This helps to make the rotis softer. Cover the dough and let it rest.
  • In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, sliced bell pepper, sliced carrot, sliced red onion, lemon juice, chaat masala, and salt. Toss well to combine.
  • Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Add the marinated paneer and cook, turning occasionally, until it's lightly browned and cooked through. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
  • Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin, circular roti on a lightly floured surface.
  • Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat. Place a roti on the hot tawa and cook for about 30 seconds per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Brush with a little oil while cooking for added flavor and softness.
  • Spread green chutney evenly over each roti. Place a portion of the cooked paneer tikka in the center of the roti, followed by a generous helping of the vegetable filling.
  • Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Fold the sides of the roti inwards and tightly roll it up. Secure the roll with a toothpick or wrap it in wax paper.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • Instead of Greek yogurt, hung curd can be used.
  • The addition of oil helps in creating a crisp texture to the rolls.
  • Eat these rolls right away after assembling, otherwise they may get soggy and lose their taste.

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, marinate the paneer in a mixture of spices and yogurt for at least 30 minutes before assembling the rolls.
  • Experiment with different fillings! Add finely chopped vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or onions for added nutrients and flavor.
  • If you don't have oats, you can use crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs for a similar crispy texture.

Storage Instructions

  • These rolls are best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat in a pan or oven before serving.
