Paneer Kathi Roll | Cottage Cheese & Mint Chutney Wrap

Kathi Roll as we all know is yet another popular street food in India. What I like about these rolls is that they are so versatile that you can stuff any dry sauteed preparation combined with some crunchy salad and a complete meal is ready to devour.

Talking about its versatility, it can be a breakfast, lunch as well as dinner. And not to forget, an ideal lunch box treat which I am sure everyone will like.

Another reason to make these full meal roll is that they can be made in a jiffy. As we all know paneer doesn’t need much time to get cooked, except for all the chopping you need to do. To make things even faster, you can use the store-bought ready-to-eat tortillas or frozen parathas. To keep the recipe easy and quick, I always make it a point to make a mint chutney once a week and store it in an airtight container. And trust me the chutney will not last for more than a week. Life becomes easier when you can make a quick sandwich, chat or just use it as a dip for your evening snacks.
