    About this recipe

    Paneer bread roll is an easy snack made with paneer (Indian cottage cheese). These savory bread roll-ups are great for lunchboxes, and picnics, and can be served as finger food. They are one of the easiest dishes to make and are great for meal prep too. This kid-friendly snack can have many variations and you can adjust the taste according to your preference.

    The most common version of Indian bread rolls is made with potatoes; however, I use paneer in this recipe and make these bread rolls without potatoes. I also shallow fry these bread rolls rather than deep-frying them. There are a plethora of combinations you can try - choose the type of bread, adjust the spices used, and add other vegetables like carrots! You can also slice them as serve a pinwheel sandwich.

    Read of for ingredients, meal prep options, and step-by-step instructions to make these delicious Indian flavors-inspired savory roll-ups.

    Ingredients

    paneer bread roll ingredients

    Paneer: Crumbled paneer or Indian cottage cheese is the main ingredient in the filling.

    Bread: In this recipe, I have used plain white bread. Brown bread also works well for this dish. For a healthier alternative, use sourdough white bread.

    Butter: I use butter to shallow fry the rolls.

    Onion and capsicum: Make sure they are chopped finely before using.

    Spices: I use garam masala and chili powder. Adjust the quantities as per your preference.

    Green chutney: An easy spread made using mint leaves, coriander leaves (cilantro), ginger, garlic, green chili, lemon/lime juice, and salt.

    Step-by-step instructions

    1. To make the green chutney, blend together coriander leaves, mint leaves, garlic, green chili, lemon/lime juice, and salt using very little water. Set it aside.

    gather green chutney ingredients.
    grind into smooth paste.

    2. To make the filling, place the crumbled paneer, onion, capsicum, coriander leaves (cilantro), chili powder, garam masala, and salt.

    3. Mix well and bring it together like a soft dough.

    take paneer and rest of the filling ingredients.
    crumble and mix well.

    4. Pinch out a small portion of the stuffing and roll it into an oval shape. Repeat with the entire mixture.

    shape the paneer.
    repeat with rest of ingredients.

    5. Trim off the edges of the bread. Roll it using a rolling pin.

    roll out thin

    6. Spread a small amount of mint chutney onto the bread. Place the stuffing on one edge of the bread.

    7. Carefully roll the bread.

    spread chutney and place filling.
    roll tightly.

    8. Apply little water to the other edge and seal it completely. Repeat with the rest of the bread slices.

    roll tighly.
    repeat with rest of slices.

    9. Heat a frying pan and add some butter. Place the bread onto it and fry for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Serve with tomato ketchup.

    fry in butter.
    fry until golden

    Useful tips

    The filling in this recipe makes 8-10 bread rolls. You can adjust the quantities as per your preference.

    I make an easy green chutney that I use as a spread. You can skip it and use any spread of your choice. You can also use store-bought mint chutney.

    Make sure you use very little water when grinding the green chutney. We want it to be slightly thick and spreadable.

    Trim the ends of the bread before rolling them. Also, make sure they are rolled thinly and evenly.

    Add other vegetables like grated carrot, and boiled corn kernels. Make sure they are cut into small bits or grated and there is no moisture content in them.

    These bread roll-ups are great for meal prep too. The green chutney can be made and stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can make the filling the previous night and store it in the refrigerator. If you plan to store it for longer, skip onions in the filling. Without onions, the filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    FAQs

    What bread can I use to make these rolls?

    I use white or whole wheat bread and they both work very well. You can also use multiseed bread; however, it may not roll up well.

    Can I meal prep them?

    These bread roll-ups are great for meal prep too. The green chutney can be made and stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can make the filling the previous night and store it in the refrigerator. If you plan to store it for longer, skip onions in the filling. Without onions, the filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    Are these savory bread roll-ups vegan?

    No. I use paneer in the filling and butter to fry them so they are not vegan. To make them vegan, replace paneer with crumbled firm tofu and butter with vegan butter or any cooking oil.
