Treat your ingredients with care...

• Paneer — Make sure to cut the paneer into strips of even thickness to ensure even cooking.
• Whole wheat rotis — If you prefer a softer texture, you can lightly brush the rotis with oil and heat them on a griddle before assembling the rolls.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of heat, add a few slices of green chili to the filling.
• You can customize the filling by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or shredded cabbage.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of red chili powder in the marinade.
• To make the rolls more portable, wrap them in parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Serve the rolls with a side of tangy tamarind chutney for additional flavor.
