Paneer Kathi Roll

What is the most famous main ingredient used in North India cooking? No doubt, it’s Paneer! 😀 Sometimes my mom used to make paneer at home and I have watched the whole process of Paneer making but never tried myself. Hopefully, someday I will try. 😛 So…other than the Paneer Curries and Paneer Starters, “Paneer Kathi” Roll is a popular classic snack which you will get in the streets of North India. If you are a Paneer Roll lover then this recipe will not disappoint you even one bit. 😉 Paneer rolls are one of the easiest and quick meal/ snack you can prepare with different variations of paneer fillings without compromising the taste. 🙂

To be very honest, when I don’t feel like cooking the proper “roti-sabji” meal, then I prepare Paneer Roll. Which is way too easy than the elaborated meal. 😛 And when you are running short of time, you can swap the homemade tortillas with store-bought tortillas. This time I used store-bought all-purpose tortillas. Though preparing these tortillas is super easy, you just need to knead well. 😀 You can use a half-half portion of all-purpose flour and wheat flour to make the rolls. But, to make it healthier you can use whole wheat flour only.
