Let's begin this recipe of Paneer Tikka Roll by cutting 200 gms of paneer into medium cubes and putting that aside on a plate.
- 2
Make sure your cubes are uniform so they marinate evenly and cook all right.
- 3
Mix everything with 100 gms of hung curd, one teaspoon ginger-garlic paste, 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, one teaspoon garam masala, salt to taste, and one tablespoon mustard oil.
- 4
It's this marinade that gives the paneer that classic tikka flavour-spicy, smoky, and creamy.
- 5
Mustard oil, with its sharp flavour, adds smoky richness.
- 6
Whisking all these ingredients properly ensures that spices spread evenly in the curd mixture.
- 7
Now, add paneer cubes, gently mixing so every piece is coated.
- 8
Allow the paneer to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- 9
Cook them on each side for a few minutes till golden brown and slightly charred; it's how the tikka texture and flavour arise. Put them aside once they are done.
- 10
You can prepare rotis (for the filling) while the paneer is marinating.
- 11
Use 200 gms of whole wheat flour in a mixing bowl, adding enough water to knead it into a smooth, pliable dough.
- 12
Break the dough into small balls, roll them out into a thin circle, and cook on a hot tawa till they get golden-brown on both sides and a little puffed up.
- 13
Use a prepared roti; around two tablespoons of green chutney would spread over it. The tangy, refreshing layer from the roll adds freshness to the smoke-flavoured paneer.
- 14
Place the cooked paneer tikka pieces along the centre of the roti. Top it with thinly sliced onions and capsicum for crunch and freshness.
- 15
Add more flavour by sprinkling a pinch of chaat masala over the filling.
- 16
Roll the roti around the filling carefully, tucking in the edges if they are loose. Secure the roll, if needed, with a toothpick to hold it together.
