Paneer and Veg Kathi Roll

My friend Dhruti, has a whole load of healthy recipes that she shares with me from time to time... This one is very yummy and quick recipes.

Veg kathi rolls are a healthy version of frankies and make a complete meal by themselves. The chapatis have been made with whole wheat flour which is a good source of iron and fibre as compared to the usual plain flour (maida) rotis. The paneer and vegetable filling enriches these rolls with essential vitamins and minerals and the calcium packed marinade adds that extra 'zing' to this recipe.
