WOYP Day #26 - Paneer Wraps

These healthy whole-wheat Paneer wraps are packed with flavor and are very easy to make. Was initially planning to use all-purpose flour to make kathi- like rolls and decided wheat flour would make a lighter roll and guilt free indulgence. 

You will need:

For the wraps:
2 cups Whole wheat flour
1 tsp Salt
1 tbsp oil
1.5-2 cups Warm water

For the filling:

Marinade Ingredients:
200 gms Paneer
1/4 cup yoghurt
1 tbsp Besan (gram flour)
2 tsp Ginger Garlic paste
2 tsp Coriander powder
1 tsp Cumin powder
1/2 tsp Chaat masala
1 tsp Red chili powder
1/4 tsp Turmeric
A large pinch Kasuthi methi
Salt to taste

Oil as needed
Thinly sliced onions
Thinly sliced green bell pepper
Mint chutney as needed
1 tsp Chaat masala
Plain ketchup or Spicy masala ketchup

In a medium bowl, combine the wheat flour, salt and oil. Slowly add water little at a time until everything comes together into a soft dough. It should not be sticky. Knead until smooth. Cover and set aside.

Prepare the marinade for the Paneer. Cut the Paneer into medium cubes. Whisk the yoghurt and the rest of the marinade ingredients. Add the cubed Paneer and mix gently.  Set aside for 15-20 minutes. 

Heat a pan with a tablespoon of oil. Add the cubed paneer, in a single layer and fry for a minute on each side until browned. Remove Paneer onto a plate and cook the remaining in batches.

Make the wraps - knead the dough and divide into 8 balls. Heat a pan on medium. Roll into thin rounds and toast on the pan. Cook for 30 seconds on one side and then flip to the other side. Cook for 30 seconds more. Remove from heat and apply butter on both sides.

To assemble - Spread a teaspoon of ketchup or masala chili ketchup evenly on the wrap. Place 4-5 pieces of Paneer in the centre lengthwise. Top with a few thinly sliced bell peppers and onions. Drizzle little mint chutney and a generous pinch of Chaat masala on top.

Starting from one end and roll the wrap tightly. Serve warm. 

These are good to carry on picnics or on a long journey for a quick lunch. Pack in foil or parchment paper and seal the ends, and it’s good to go!
