Ingredients:

1 cup paneer
1/2 cup onion cubed
1/2 cup capsicum cubed
1/2 cup tomatoes cubed, deseeded
2 tbsp oil

Marinade
1/4 cup thick curd
1tsp besan
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp ginger paste
1/2 tsp garlic paste
1/2 tsp chaat masala
1/2 tsp kasuri methi
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
Salt to taste

Chapati
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup milk
Salt to taste

Method:   Make chapati dough with whole wheat flour, salt and milk.  The dough should be like normal chapati dough.  Cover and keep aside.

Marinate paneer with all the above given ingredients namely yoghurt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste, besan, kasuri methi, chaat masala, garam masala powder and salt to taste. Keep aside for at least 10 mins.

In a non stick pan add the onion cubes and fry lightly.  Also add capsicum and tomato and fry.  Do not overdo as the vegetables should retain their crunchiness.  Take out and keep aside.  In the same oil add the marinated paneer and fry on medium heat till the water dries up and oil separates.  Again, do not fry too much and let paneer get hard.  Close the flame and add the fried onions, capsicum and tomato.  Mix.

Take a medium sized ball from the prepared dough and roll out a thin chapati on a floured board.  Heat the tava and cook the chapati on both sides till cooked.  If you want you can add little oil on both sides of the chapati.  Take care that the chapati is soft and pliable.  Remove and keep aside. Continue to make the other chapatis in the same way.

To assemble the paneer tikka kathi roll,  place few spoonfuls of the paneer filling in the centre of a chapati and roll it up tightly.  Serve hot.
