Ingredients
- 14 oz paneer, cubed

- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt

How to Make Paneer Tikka Roll
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin powder, paprika, turmeric, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the cubed paneer to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
- Heat the oil in a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated paneer along with the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the paneer is golden and the veggies are slightly charred.
- Warm the flatbreads on a separate skillet or in the oven for a few minutes until soft.
- To assemble the rolls, place a generous scoop of the paneer and vegetable mixture on each flatbread. Drizzle with spicy sauce and sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.
- Roll the flatbread tightly around the filling. Secure with a toothpick if needed, and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of crushed red pepper to the marinade for heat.
- If you prefer a smoky flavor, cook the paneer on an outdoor grill.
- Don’t skip the marination step; it’s key to achieving the best flavor.
Easy Variations
- Substitute paneer with tofu for a vegan option.
- Add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms to the filling.
- Use different sauces like a mint yogurt sauce for a refreshing twist.
What to Serve With It
- A side of cucumber raita to cool the palate.
- Crispy potato wedges or masala fries for a hearty side.
