Paneer Kathi Roll Recipe | Easy Paneer Roll Recipe

Paneer is my kids' most favorite ingredient next to potato. They love paneer in any form, even if it is spicy they don't mind and enjoy it.  Also, paneer is rich in protein and fat it is good for growing kids. Once in a week I cook any paneer recipe for them, last week made this Easy Paneer Kathi Roll for kids as an after school snack. Paneer Kathi Rolls are best when served warm.
You can use Plain Paratha or Rotis/Chapathi for making kathi roll. I usually prepare rotis ahead and just before making rolls, I lightly toast it in the tawa.

To Make Paneer Kathi Roll
First place a roti on a plate, to one side of the roti add 2-3 tbsp of paneer sabzi, to it add sliced onion, chaat masala powder and add 1-2 tsp of yogurt-mint dip, lastly squeeze few drops of lemon juice(optional).
Now roll the paratha tightly and wrap half of the roll with napkin or butter paper and serve immediately.
Notes & Variation:
For Paneer sabzi, you can use either cubed or crumbled paneer.
Instead of Kitchen King Masala You can use Garam Masala Powder.
You can also use 1 tsp ginger garlic paste instead of crushed ginger & garlic.
For Kathi Roll Roti/Paratha, I used 3/4 cup Atta & 1/4 cup Maida/All purpose flour.
You can also smear the roti with yogurt-mint dip instead of drizzling over the sabzi.
Instead of yogurt dip use green chutney alone or along with some sweet & sour sauce.
