Paneer wraps

Its been real long since I have made this. But I did jot down several recipes I  had success in . Here is one from my book.

• Cottage cheese (paneer), cut into thin strips. As I make Paneer at home I can cut them into 3 inch by 4 inch in size. About 6 to 8 slices ( careful when you mix them as this size can break easily) OR 2 cups cubed paneer.
• Whole wheat flour roti or roomali rotis (I prefer this one). You can find them in Indian stores.
• Lemon juice (if desired)
• Oil 2 to 3 tablespoons for frying
• Garlic, ginger paste 1/2 teaspoon
• Onion cut in elongated slices/thin strips..1 large
• Green capsicum, cut into thin strips, 1 medium. You can add different colors of bell peppers too.
• Red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon
• Dry mango powder (amchur), 1 teaspoon
• Salt to taste
• Bean sprouts 1/2 cup
• Lettuce leaves 4 or 5 large
• For flavor: Dollop of sour cream, guacamole and hot sauce or any flavored sauce you decide to choose. Get creative here.

• There are two ways you can use Paneer. Cut and shallow fry with spices (follow recipe below and add them once onions are done) 
• OR   
• add 1 cup yogurt and 2tbsp tandoori paste. (Buy Tandoori paste from Indian stores. Shaan Brand) Add salt to taste.
• Bake in 350 degree for 20 minutes OR cook them in pan. If you decide to cook in pan use ½ a cup of yogurt or it will be very liquidy. heat oil in a pan then add mixture.  Cook on low heat. Do not add yogurt and paneer mixture together to recipe below. If you do then you might as well eat paneer curry with rice/roti ;-)

METHOD

.Heat oil in a pan, add garlic paste and ginger paste and sauté for half a minute. Add onion and continue to sauté for 2 min. Add green capsicum, red chilli powder, dry mango powder, salt. Add bean sprouts and continue to sauté for another minute. Make sure sprouts are not overcooked they still remain crunchy. You are basically mixing them for flavor.  Remove from heat and set aside. Prepare paneer the way you want. I like it baked with yogurt and that’s what I have used for this recipe.

To prepare the wraps divide the paneer mixture into four equal portions. Place a roomali roti on the worktop and arrange a lettuce leaf over it. Spread a portion of paneer, then mixture over the roti, spread sour cream, guacamole and hot sauce. Squeeze lemon juice if desired. Roll and secure with aluminum foil. Prepare the remaining wraps in a similar way and serve immediately.
