Paneer Kathi Rolls (EASY, 30-minute Recipe)
Description
Paneer Kathi Rolls (EASY, 30-minute Recipe) bring together marinated paneer pieces with sautéed colored bell peppers and onions inside soft, cooked parathas. The paneer is marinated in a combination of plain yogurt, grated ginger, pressed garlic, Kashmiri red chili powder, garam masala, ground turmeric, dried fenugreek leaves (Kasoori Methi), and kosher salt, which imparts a spicy and earthy flavor layer. The sautéed vegetables add sweetness and texture to the filling.
The process includes marinating the paneer, sautéing vegetables and the marinated paneer to make the filling, preparing a fresh mint cilantro coconut chutney, and warming the parathas on a griddle. The rolls are assembled by spreading chutney on the paratha, filling it with the paneer-vegetable mixture, and topping with thinly sliced yellow onions and chopped cilantro. Rolling the sides helps contain the ingredients, making it easy to eat by hand.
The mint cilantro chutney with coconut, garlic, cumin seeds, green chilies, lemon juice, salt, and sugar adds a fresh, tangy contrast to the warm, spiced paneer filling. The rolls can be served immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures of the soft paneer, crunchy vegetables, and the warm paratha. The dish is suited for a casual lunch or light dinner.
For those seeking a low-carb alternative, the recipe suggests substituting the store-bought parathas with low-carb tortillas, offering flexibility without sacrificing flavor.
