How to make Paneer Kathi Roll ?
To prepare this delightful Paneer Kathi Roll, let's start by making the Roti, which can be prepared just as you normally would and set aside. Next, we'll focus on creating the flavorful paneer masala. Once both the Roti and masala are ready, we'll move on to crafting the delectable spread.
Many of us often have coriander-mint chutney readily available in our refrigerator. For those who don't, you can easily make it by blending a bunch of fresh coriander leaves, a bunch of mint leaves, along with some green chili, ginger, a pinch of salt, and a touch of sugar. This homemade paste can be refrigerated and kept for a week or even longer. It serves as a versatile spread for not only Roti but also sandwiches. I always keep some on hand for wrapping or making sandwiches. However, please note that using this spread is optional. If you prefer, you can simply apply ghee and add the stuffing. Additionally, cream cheese, such as Jalapeño cream cheese, is also a fantastic alternative. My kids particularly enjoy it, and sometimes I'll use it when I'm out of Green Chutney.
With the spread prepared, it's time to assemble your Paneer Kathi Roll. Take each Roti, generously spread it with the prepared mixture, then place the filling in the center. Fold the edges together and secure them with a toothpick. Serve up these delightful Paneer Kathi Rolls and enjoy!
Tips to make perfect Paneer Kathi Roll
- Paneer Preparation: Use fresh and firm paneer. You can marinate the paneer with yogurt and spices for extra flavor and tenderness.
- Roti Quality: Make sure your rotis are soft and pliable. If making them at home, keep them warm and fresh to prevent them from becoming dry and brittle.
- Fillings: Don't overstuff the roll; it should be easy to fold and eat. The paneer masala should be warm when assembling the roll.
- Sealing: When folding the roll, ensure it's tightly sealed. You can use a toothpick or wrap it in parchment paper to keep it secure.
- Texture Variety: Add some fresh, crunchy vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or lettuce for contrasting textures.
- Fresh Chutney: If you're making the chutney at home, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Store-bought chutney can also work well.
