Kathi roll/ Paneer roll/ Spinach roll (palak roll)

A kathi roll is street food originating from Kolkata. Kebab wrapped in a paratha. These are a common street food found in many parts of India.

I have tried kathi rolls of vegetarian version using cottage cheese (paneer). But you can try with vegetables or noodles as par your taste.This recipe is a stomach filling and it’s best for office-goers and school going kids. you can try with different sauces or green chutney.

2. Add water in a pan put chopped spinach and add pinch of salt. Boil for 4-5 mins on a medium flame. After 5 mins drain out the water put 1 glass of cold water to make it cool.

3.Now make a fine paste using grinder.

6. Roll the chapati using the rolling board with whole wheat flour.The same way we do for making normal roti.

7. When pan is hot, transfer the chapati to the pan. Flip it cook on both the sides until brown spot appear. You can add ghee or oil in this step , cook just the same way we cook parthas. I have cooked without using oil and ghee to make it more healthy. Transfer cooked chapati to the plate.
