Paneer Tikka Kati Roll


Kati roll or Frankie is a popular Mumbai dish. It is a wrap filled with vegetables, paneer or meat and cooked on egg on the bottom.The wrap is then toasted on the skillet with butter and served with hot green chutney. My version is one without egg, filled with marinated vegetables and paneer tikka that was broiled and not fried.

Ingredients for roti:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup wheat flour
salt to taste
1 Tbsp. oil

Ingredients for paneer tikka and vegetable:
1 package paneer, sliced think, 2 inches long
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp amchur powder
salt to taste
1 tsp. grated ginger
1 tsp. grated garlic
water to make paste
1 onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1 Tbsp. oil

1 Green pepper, sliced
1 Onion, sliced
1 Cup sliced cabbage
lettuce
1/4 Cup vinegar
11/2 tsp. cumin powder
2 tsp. coriander powder
1 tsp. pomegranate powder
1 tsp. amchur powder(dried mango)
1/4 tsp. black pepper powder
1 pinch asafoetida
1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
salt to taste

Method for making roti:
1.In a large bowl, mix 1 Tbsp. oil and little salt to all purpose flour and wheat flour. Add enough water and knead to soft dough. Cover and keep aside for 10 minutes.
2. Make 10 baseball size balls from the dough. Using a rolling pin make thin round rotis.
3. Heat skillet to medium heat. Cook roti on both sides. Remove and set aside. Repeat process for all the roti.

Method for Paneer Tikka:
1. In a medium bowl mix the dry ingredients for paneer tikka and ginger garlic with just enough water to make marinade. Toss paneer slices and marinate for 20 minutes.

 3. Spread marinated paneer on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Spray with oil and broil for 10 minutes till paneer is slightly crisp.
4. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a pan to medium high. Add green chili, onion and pepper; saute for 5 minutes. Add tomato and cook for a few minutes. Mix broiled paneer and cook for a couple minutes. Remove from stove and set aside.

5. Take the sliced vegetables in a large bowl. Add vinegar and dry ingredients for kati roll masala(listed beneath sliced vegetables). Toss together and set aside.
How to Build Kati Roll:
1. Place one roti on a plate. Spread butter on the surface. Place some marinated vegetables in the center of the roti. Top with paneer tikka. Sprinkle with some kati roll masala.

2. Fold the bottom and then the bring the sides to wrap the stuffing. Stick a tooth pick to hold the wrap. Repeat process with all the rotis.
  3. Heat skillet to medium heat. Add butter to the skillet. Place 2 or 3 kati rolls with folded side up and cook and both sides till slightly crisp. Remove from heat. Repeat process for all kati rolls.
4. Serve hot with spicy green chutney.
