Paneer Roti Roll

 

This is a very, very tasty spicy masala-filled recipe. But I must admit this takes a long time to prepare and cook, but it is all worth is, such is the taste and more so, this one being a one-dish tasty and healthy meal makes it a lot more preferable on a weekend dinner or when you arrange for your kids birthday party.

 For kids, you can reduce the number of chillies and/or the amount of chilli powder.  

 The following measurements can be good enough for 13-15 rolls.
