Bread Paneer Rolls

Ingredients:

1 cup crumbled paneer

1 small onion, chopped fine (I should have added this!)

1/2 tsp red chilli powder

1/4 tsp powdered cumin / jeera

1/2 tsp garam masala

1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste

A small bunch of coriander, chopped fine

1 tsp or a bit more tomato sauce / ketchup

4 slices of bread

Butter to toast

Salt to taste

For garnishing :Onion and lemon slice with mint sprigs

Method:

Place the crumbled panner in a bowl

Add the red chilli powder, garam masala, salt, chopped coriander, chopped onion, and jeera .

Then add the tomato sauce or ketchup and the ginger garlic paste

Remove the crusts from your bread. Use the regular white commercial variety

Roll out each slice as thin as you can. Commercial bread will have tons of leaveners in it so you get to do this quite easily.

Place about 1 tsp or so of filling on one end of the rolled out bread slice. 

Gently roll in from one end, making sure that the filling stays well within the first turn of the roll

Go ahead and roll it all up. 

Repeat with the remaining bread slices. 

Wrap up the tightly rolled bread slices with filling in a clean, damp kitchen towel.  Used cloth, folded over twice for enough thickness. 

Set aside for about 15 mins. 

Now, butter up the rolls well on all sides. 

Lightly roast in a pan until all sides are browned. Cut up. 

Garnish with onion and lemon slice with mint sprigs

&  serve with tomato sauce.
