Ingredients

For the Whole Wheat Roll

Whole Wheat Flour: I love flatbreads or parathas made using Whole wheat flour. You may use gf flour like Ragi, Chickpea, Buckwheat or amaranth to make this recipe totally gf. Use this flour with salt and water to knead a not-so tight dough. Desi Ghee: If you love parathas, you would simply love desi ghee parathas. They turn out super crisp and amazing with desi ghee. For vegan options, you may use any vegan oil.

You may always buy the ready to make Parathas but in my honest opinion, fresh ones are more healthy and tasty.

For the Paneer Wrap Mix

Paneer: Indian Cottage Cheese or Paneer is the star ingredient of this recipe. I have procured it from Mother dairy, the very common brand in India. There was a time when I used to make homemade paneer. Now when I have to add content to the blog, there is a lot that keeps going on and I need to purchase it. You may use Tofu for making a Vegan wrap. Hummus: Hummus is a high-protein no oil spread that rich flavor to the wrap. Other spreads that go well with Paneer Frankie are Mint or Coriander Dip, Mustard Sauce or Cheesy dip. Since I was trying to create a healthy veg wrap, I opted for Hummus. Vegetables: Onion, garlic, capsicum, spinach and tomato are used in this recipe. Carrots, Zucchini, mushrooms, Kale, cauliflower work well too. Desi Ghee: For sauteing vegetables, I have used Desi ghee. you may use olive oil or vegan oil for making it vegan. Spices: Paneer recipe seems incomplete without the touch of Indian spices: Red Chilly, Garm Masala, Amchur (Dry Mango powder). Feel free to tone the heat down as my version of spicy won’t match yours. For the spices, the Italian seasonings like thyme, rosemary and oregano would be perfect substitutes.

Variations

Paneer Kathi Roll: Take this recipe to classic style by marinading paneer and then wrapping it in paratha or thin all-purpose flour chapati smeared with green chutney. For the typical tandoori flavor, Paneer Tikka Roll can also be made with few tweaks to this recipe. Try a different vegetable: Mushroom, Cauliflower, corn and bean veggie wraps taste great with whole wheat paratha. Gluten free Wrap: Replace whole wheat flour by gf flours. you may use homemade dough or procure from market. Vegan Wrap: Replace desi ghee with any vegan oil. The Lettuce wrap works great with this paneer wrap. It makes the recipe quick, vegan and gf. Baked Paneer Wrap: For more healthy version of paneer roll, you may bake the flat bread instead of cooking on stove top. Try another Dip: Green Chutney of Mint / Pudina or Dhaniya works great with this recipe. You may use salsa or tomato based dips as well. Top it with Cheese: Adding cheese in the wrap is totally delicious but then it won’t be low calorie wrap or so healthy.

Expert Tips

To get the perfect crispy paratha, use iron tawa. Trust me it won’t burn it. You need to put rollled up paratha on a hot tawa (not cold). Simmer the gas and let it cook slowly. Flip it and let it be half cooked from booth sides. then Apply oil or ghee on simmer. Use a flat spatula to press it evenly. The paneer when mixed in vegetables release water. Cook a bit extra to absorb the water or the wrap would leak the mixture. Keep the dough at rest for at least 15 minutes and don’t use it immediately.

Stories From Kitchen

Now she is the one who asks for Paneer Tikka.
