Instructions
Make the Dough and Parathas
-
Combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water and knead until a soft dough forms.
-
Let the dough rest for 15 minutes, then divide it into four balls.
-
Roll each ball into a thin, round paratha. Heat a pan, brush it lightly with oil, and cook each paratha until golden spots appear on both sides. Set aside.
Prepare the Filling
-
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add lightly crushed coriander seeds. Once starts to crackle, add ginger-garlic and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
-
Add onions, bell peppers, and any other vegetables of your choice(optional). Cook until they soften slightly but still have a crunch.
-
Add paneer strips, coriander powder, garam masala, chaat masala, red chili powder, and salt. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined. Remove from heat.
Make the Sauce
-
Mix the yogurt or mayonnaise with mint chutney and salt. Adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside.
Assemble the Rolls
-
Place a paratha on a plate, spread a spoonful of the sauce down the center.
-
Add a portion of the filling along the sauce line. Sprinkle with chopped green chilies and cilantro, and squeeze a bit of lemon juice (optional).
-
Roll the paratha tightly around the filling. Wrap in parchment paper if desired, making it easier to hold and enjoy.
Tips
-
Customize the Filling- Add other veggies like carrots, green beans, cabbage, mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach for a nutrient boost.
-
Spice it Up- Increase or reduce chili powder based on your spice preference.
-
Keep it Fresh- Serve with fresh lemon wedges to add zest and brightness.
-
For a Healthier Option- Use whole wheat parathas or try baking instead of pan-frying.
You can also use frozen malaysian paranthas or flour tortillas to skip the step of cooking paranthas

I used eggless mayonnaise to this to keep it vegetarian and less calories
