Paneer Tikka Kathi Roll

When we visited India this was my first real taste of the amazing food on offer. It was from the room service menu of the hotel not a street vendor but I can still remember being blown away by its flavours. 

Ingredients

makes 4

4 parathas or chapatis 

200g paneer tikka kebab (see recipe here)

150ml mint & coriander mint green chutney (see recipe here)

1 red onion

4 tsp chaat masala

2 tsp chilli powder

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tsp mustard seeds

2 tbsp mustard oil

4 eggs (optional)

1 tsp veg oil

fresh coriander

Method

Prepare the parathas, paneer tikka and green sauce in advance. (or use shop bought)

Slice the onion. Place them in a bowl and add the lemon juice, chilli powder and half the chaat masala.  Mix well and leave to marinade for at least half an hour. 

Cut up the paneer tikka kebab into smaller bite-size pieces if you have followed the recipe linked above.

Using a large frying pan heat the mustard oil over a medium-hot temperature. Add the mustard seeds. When they begin to pop, add the paneer tikka kebab pieces to refresh and reheat.

In a separate frying pan, warm up parathas (or chapatis) to make them more supple. Set them aside.

Pre-heat the oven to a low 120C.

If you are using egg in the filling then add a splash of veg oil into the frying pan before adding one egg. Quickly spread it out evenly to thinly coat the base of the pan. Sprinkle over some chopped fresh coriander and a pinch of salt. 

Place a warmed paratha over the top and cook for a few minutes.

With a spatula flip the paratha/omelette over. 

With the egg side up, spoon a few tablespoons of the green chutney and spread over the egg. Next place in the middle a portion of the paneer, onion and pepper from the kebab.

Add the marinated onions and sprinkle over some more chaat masala, chopped coriander and more green chutney to your taste.

Roll up tightly. Keep it open ended. There's no need to "wrap it up" like a burrito. Then wrap the roll in baking paper to hold the shape and keep the filling from falling out. Either serve immediately or close both ends of the paper and keep warm in the oven to repeat another three times.

Serve warm with some more green chutney.
