Instructions
Make Paneer Filling:
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, mustard oil, and ginger garlic paste.
Add spices (kashmiri chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, garam masala, black salt, and kasoori methi). Squeeze in fresh lime juice and mix thoroughly.
Add paneer cubes to the marinade and coat them well. If time permits, allow the paneer to marinate; otherwise, proceed without marinating.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and peppers, sprinkle with salt, and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften yet remain crunchy.
Add the marinated paneer along with the marinade to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the veggies and paneer. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prep Onion Lachha & Chutney, Sauce:
In a bowl, mix thinly sliced onions, chopped green chilies, and cilantro with chaat masala and freshly squeezed lime juice. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine mayonnaise and green chutney until well combined.
Transfer to a squeeze bottle or ziplock bag for easy drizzling. I prefer placing my ziplock bag in a small glass to make filling mess-free.
Similarly, prepare tomato chili sauce for drizzling.
Make Paneer Wrap (Kati Roll):
Cook Kawan paratha on a tawa over medium heat until golden brown and cooked on both sides.
Place the cooked paratha on a piece of parchment paper.
Spread the prepared paneer filling in the center of the paratha. Optionally, cut the paneer pieces in half.
Top it with onion lachha.
Drizzle generously with green chutney-mayo and chili tomato sauce.
Roll both sides toward the center, wrap the parchment paper around to secure, and tuck the bottom paper into the roll. Enjoy your delicious Paneer Roll right away!
Notes
Do not use ketchup. Trust me on this, try Maggi’s Hot & Sweet Tomato Chili Sauce. It makes a huge difference in taste.
Experiment with Sauces: Add variety to your paneer wrap by experimenting with different sauces like schezwan sauce or sriracha hot sauce for unique flavor combinations.
Thinly Slice Onions for topping: It not only provides a pleasant crunch but also helps to mellow out the pungent flavor of raw onions, enhancing the overall taste of the paneer wrap.
