A baked paneer roll is one of those treats that relish the richness of paneer and have a crispy and golden outer layer. It is an easy recipe to prepare as well, and it serves as a good way to have a vegetarian treat that everybody will love. Prepare the delicious rolls by crushing fresh paneer in a bowl. Add chopped onions and bell peppers mixed with spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala for that fragrant flavor. A handful of chopped fresh herbs such as cilantro or mint adds to it. You can roll out readymade pastry sheets or dough into thin rectangles. Spoon the paneer mixture along one side of each rectangle, then roll it up into neat little packages, pinching a small amount of water into the seam to seal it. Place the rolled pastries on a lined baking tray so that parchment paper is between them. Cover your oven with an oven bag and preheat to 375 F (190 C). Brush some rolls with a light coat of melted butter or oil for a lovely golden finish. The paneer rolls bake to a golden brown crisp within roughly 20-25 minutes. Serve the baked paneer rolls hot with tangy chutney or a creamy dip for that ultimate snack to grab. This baked paneer roll recipe would make a great party option, or movie night and would prove a cracking good choice when you need something quick for lunch. Now, as with anything spicy, you can enjoy the spicy bites, which will surely amaze your friends and family with your culinary wizardry!

FAQs

What are the types of bread ideal for baked paneer rolls?

Whole wheat bread is a healthy and delicious bread choice for the baked paneer rolls, though you could use even brown, multi-grain, or white bread according to your choice. Whole wheat bread gives it that nutty flavour and additional fibre, while on the other hand, white bread makes it soft. Remember to use fresh, slightly flattened bread for easier rolling. If you want gluten-free, find gluten-free alternatives to bread.

Can the baked paneer rolls be prepared ahead?

Yes, baked paneer rolls can be prepared ahead and thus very suitable for meal prep or when you want to prepare snacks for a gathering. You can prepare the filling, assemble the rolls, and put them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Alternatively, you can freeze the unbaked rolls. When you want to bake them, just put them frozen in the oven and add extra time to the baking. That way, you'll have delicious freshly baked paneer rolls anytime you want to bake.

What are some baked paneer roll variations I can try with the filling?

The great advantage of baked paneer rolls is the variety. While the classic filling combines paneer, spices, and herbs, you can be as creative with your choices. Mix in finely chopped veggies like bell peppers, spinach, or carrots to increase the nutrient value and flavour. Spice it up with chopped green chillies or a dash of your favourite hot sauce. You also could try different spices, including cumin or smoked paprika, or mix in some cheese for creaminess. Such differences enable you to make the rolls according to your taste buds' preference, thereby making it the dish for every day.
