Paneer parota rolls, made your way.

Home / Recipes & meal ideas

A warm parota, a savoury paneer filling and a little freshness make a satisfying handheld meal. Keep the filling fairly dry so the bread stays easy to roll. The same filling also works in a chapati when you want a different bread.

Ingredients

• 2 Malabar parotas
• 200 g paneer, prepared as directed on the pack
• 1 small onion, sliced
• ½ medium capsicum, thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons oil
• ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander
• ¼ teaspoon turmeric
• ¼ teaspoon chilli powder, or to taste
• Salt to taste
• A squeeze of lemon and a little chopped coriander, optional
• 2 teaspoons thick chutney, optional

Method

1. Prepare the paneer according to its pack instructions. Cut it into small strips or cubes suited to a roll.
2. Heat oil in a pan and add cumin. Add onion and capsicum; cook until softened but still holding their shape.
3. Reduce the heat, add coriander powder, turmeric and chilli powder, and stir briefly. Add a splash of water if the spices start to catch.
4. Add paneer and salt. Toss gently until hot throughout. Let excess moisture evaporate, then finish with lemon and coriander if using.
5. Heat each parota according to its pack directions. Spread a little thick chutney over the middle, if desired.
6. Divide the filling between the two breads. Fold in the bottom, roll up the sides and serve immediately.

Keep the roll easy to eat

A smaller filling is easier to wrap than a heavily loaded centre. Avoid watery sauces and let excess steam escape from the filling before assembling. For a mild version, omit the chilli powder and offer chutney separately.
