A baked paneer roll is one of those treats that relish the richness of paneer and have a crispy and golden outer layer. It is an easy recipe to prepare as well, and it serves as a good way to have a vegetarian treat that everybody will love. Prepare the delicious rolls by crushing fresh paneer in a bowl. Add chopped onions and bell peppers mixed with spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala for that fragrant flavor. A handful of chopped fresh herbs such as cilantro or mint adds to it. You can roll out readymade pastry sheets or dough into thin rectangles. Spoon the paneer mixture along one side of each rectangle, then roll it up into neat little packages, pinching a small amount of water into the seam to seal it. Place the rolled pastries on a lined baking tray so that parchment paper is between them. Cover your oven with an oven bag and preheat to 375 F (190 C). Brush some rolls with a light coat of melted butter or oil for a lovely golden finish. The paneer rolls bake to a golden brown crisp within roughly 20-25 minutes.

Cooking steps for Baked Paneer Roll

- 4Now crumble 250 grams of paneer or cottage cheese in a bowl.
- 5This recipe is studded with paneer, which gives the dish a creamy deep quality and mates very well with the spices.
- 6Add one finely chopped green chilli to give it that zing and 1/2 teaspoon of minced ginger or finely chopped ginger for more depth in flavour.
- 7Mix in 1 tablespoon of chopped coriander or parsley leaves for that fresh herbal note.
- 8And the herbs give it that kind of lift, brightness, depth, too.
- 9Now, let's prepare the filling. To do so, you sprinkle in ¼ teaspoon red chilli powder or cayenne pepper to taste for those who like spicy rolls. Add ¼ teaspoon ground coriander for warmth and earthiness, then ¼ teaspoon garam masala for fragrance and aromatic flavours.
- 10Finally, add 1/2 teaspoon of chaat masala or dry mango powder (amchur) for that tangy twist.

- 12As soon as the filling is mixed correctly, you can then begin assembling the rolls.

- 19Indeed, you can even brush oil or softened butter lightly over the rolls before baking so that they have a gorgeous golden crust.
- 20It not only enhances the flavour but also gives it crispiness in all the right places.
- 21Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) while placing the rolls on the baking tray.
- 22Once baked, place the paneer rolls in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- 23The fragrance coming from the oven will tempt everyone in its vicinity.
