Ingredients

For the Paneer Tikka Filling

  • 9 ounces Paneer cut into bite-sized cubes approx. 400 grams
  • ½ Red bell pepper chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ Green bell pepper chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ Yellow bell pepper chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ Red onion chopped into bite-sized pieces

Paneer Tikka Marinade

For the Wrap

  • 4 Parathas (frozen or fresh) See notes

For the garnish

  • 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
  • ½ Red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Vinegar white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 4 tablespoon Green Chutney see notes

Instructions

  • Start by mixing together the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
  • Add the spice powders, mustard oil, besan (gram flour), yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, Kasuri methi, salt and mix well.
  • Whisk well until smooth.
  • Add the cubes of paneer along with the chopped bell peppers and onion to the mixing bowl.
  • Using a spatula, mix well such that the paneer and the veggies are evenly coated in the marinade. (You can keep the marinated veggies and paneer refrigerated in a zip lock bag or frozen if you are meal prepping for later)
  • Skewer the paneer and veggies, on grill skewers. On a hot griddle pan, grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes until lightly charred. Then keep aside.
  • Optionally, instead of using a grill the cook the paneer tikka, you can simply toss the marinated paneer + veggies in a wok (kadai) with a little mustard oil, until they are cooked.
  • Prepare the parathas by heating them on a pre-heated pan untill the parathas are cooked. If using flour tortillas, heat for 20 seconds on each side. Keep aside.
  • Prepare the pickled onions for the filling. Mix the sliced red onion in vinegar and sugar. Toss together and keep aside for 30 minutes (or you can make ahead and store in the friedge. )

Assembling the kathi roll

  • Take each parathas and spoon 1 tablespoon of the green chutney on it.
  • Place the paneer tikka filling, followed by the pickled onions and a sprinkling of chaat masala.
  • Roll up the Kathi roll and keep aside. You can also use a foil or toothpick or roll them in butter paper to keep the roll intact.

Notes

Mustard Oil - I have used mustard oil in the marinade, it is slightly pungent and enhances the flavor of the marinade. If you cant get hold of it, replace it with vegetable oil.
Paratha - Parathas are the perfect wrap for the Kathi roll. I have used frozen, store-bought parathas. You can also use flour tortillas instead. 
Green Chutney - You can make green chutney at home with my recipe for Mint Cilantro Chutney. Optionally, you can use store-bought chutney as well.
