Scale
For Marination
- 1/4 cup Hung Curd or Greek Yogurt
- 2 tbsp Mustard Oil
- 2 tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste
- 1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 tsp Chaat Masala
- 1 tbsp Crushed Kasuri Methi
- 1 tbsp Gram Flour
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 8 oz. Paneer thawed and cubed
- 1 tbsp Butter / Oil : Basting the paneer with butter, prevents it from drying out and giving it those charred marks.
For the roll
- 1 Onions sliced
- 1 Bell Pepper sliced
- Salt to taste
- Skewers (bamboo or steel)
- 4 parathas
- 1 tbsp green chutney for each paratha
- 1 tbsp ketchup for each paratha
Instructions
- Paneer - If using store bought paneer, make sure your thaw it by giving it a warm water bath until the cubes become softer and tender. If using a block or homemade paneer, cut them into 1 inch cubes.
- Veggies - Slice the red onions, and colored bell peppers. Add some lemon juice to the onions, to make sure they are not pungent.
- Marinade - In a wide bowl add hung curd or greek yogurt (minus the whey). To that add oil, besan, coriander powder, garam masala, amchur, chaat masala, turmeric, kashmiri red chili powder, salt, kasuri methi, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice and whisk it all together making sure there are so lumps.
- Marination - Throw in the paneer cubes and gently coat them evenly on all sides with the marinade. If you have the time allow the flavors to soak into the paneer, by keeping them aside for about 30 minutes, or else let get straight to it.
- Cook the Paneer - You can grill it like I have in my Tandoori Paneer Tikka recipe or cook it on the stove top by heating some oil in a pan and throwing the marinated paneer on the pan and cook them evenly on all sides on medium heat. Throw in the onions and bell pepper slices and saute for just a minute of two until tender. You don't want to completely cook the veggies, you want the veggies to retain their crunch.
- Cook the Paratha - Cook the paratha on the pan as per the directions on the package or to make your own laccha paratha using this recipe, minus the cilantro and garlic.
- Assembly - Smear the paratha with green chutney and ketchup. Then layer the paneer cubes in a line (Approx. 5-7 cubes). Sprinkle some chopped cilantro followed by chaat masala and lemon juice.
- Fold and bring the two sides together and take that first bite. Absolutely yum!
