Paneer (V)

About This Dish

Paneer Kathi Roll is a satisfying vegetarian wrap that brings together grilled paneer (cottage cheese) cubes and classic Indian spices in a convenient, flavorful package. The paneer is marinated in a mix of yoghurt, garam masala, ginger, garlic, and herbs before being grilled to achieve a slightly charred exterior and a soft, creamy center. These flavourful chunks are then wrapped in a thin flatbread—usually Roomali roti or naan—alongside sliced onions, tomatoes, and a refreshing mint chutney. The result is a balanced dish with creamy, smoky, and tangy notes. Paneer Kathi Roll is a great meat-free alternative for lovers of Indian street food.

History & Tradition

The Paneer Kathi Roll is a relatively modern evolution of the traditional Kathi Roll, which originated in Kolkata in the mid-20th century. Initially made with skewered meat rolled inside a paratha, the dish grew in popularity as a quick, handheld meal. With the increasing demand for vegetarian options across India, especially in North India, paneer became the natural substitute for meat in this dish. 

Paneer has long been a central part of Indian cuisine—used in everything from curries to snacks. Paneer is famed thanks to its ability to soak up spices and hold its shape when cooked. The Paneer Kathi Roll blends that tradition with the convenience of modern street food.

What Makes It Special

What sets the Paneer Kathi Roll apart is how the paneer interacts with the spiced marinade. Unlike tofu or other plant proteins, paneer holds its texture when grilled, resulting in a slightly crispy outside and a soft interior. The yoghurt-based marinade ensures that the spices are deeply infused into the paneer, giving each bite a flavorful punch. 

The contrast between the warm, spiced paneer and the cooling chutney, combined with crunchy onions and the soft flatbread creates a well-rounded, enjoyable bite. It’s a simple, satisfying option that doesn’t try too hard—yet delivers.

I absolutely loved the Paneer Kathi Roll. The paneer was soft and perfectly grilled, with a lovely smoky flavour. The spices were just right, and the mint chutney gave it a refreshing zing. It was filling without being too heavy, and every bite was full of taste. A great vegetarian option that does not compromise on flavour.

Tried the Paneer Kathi Roll for the first time and was really impressed. The wrap was soft, and the paneer had a great charred texture. The balance between the spices, the creamy paneer, and the tangy chutney worked really well. It was hearty, tasty, and ideal for a quick meal. Even as a meat eater, I would happily order this again.

The Paneer Kathi Roll was such a tasty surprise. The paneer was grilled perfectly and soaked up all the spices beautifully. The chutney and fresh veggies made it feel light and refreshing, even though it was super satisfying. You can tell a lot of care goes into preparing it. Will definitely come back for another one soon.

FAQs

A: It’s moderately spiced. The yoghurt marinade tones down the heat, while the chutney adds a fresh, slightly spicy kick.

A: Yes. You can swap the paneer with tofu and use a dairy-free yoghurt to create a fully plant-based version.
