  • Serve it with some onions as a side, along with some green chutney.

Notes

TIPS
  1. WRAP: Make sure whatever wrap you take, whether it's parantha, roti, or tortilla, can easily be rolled and shaped.
  2. YOGURT: Make sure to use hung yogurt or Greek yogurt.
  3. FILLING: As there are 2-3 different stuffings and garnishes, do not add more than 1-2 tablespoons, as closing it at the end will be hard. Make it just like a burrito, with a little bit of everything.
  4. SAUCE: To make the roll more flavorful, add different sauces or condiments, such as green chutney, garlic sauce, hot sauce, etc.
  5. SPICES: To give the Paneer Kathi rolls an extra layer of flavor, add chaat masala at the end as a garnish.
  6. SOGGY: Once made, serve it immediately; otherwise, the roll might turn soggy because it contains all the sauce and flavors.
  7. ONION RELISH: Slice onion with green chutney. It gives a nice flavor, and you don't have to add two ingredients at different times.
  8. WRAP TIGHTLY: When rolling with stuffing, wrap it tightly so it doesn't fall apart and can hold its shape.
  9. PARCHMENT PAPER: Cover with parchment paper or aluminum foil once rolled so that the wrap stays tight and the stuffing does not fall out.
