Notes & Tips
- Kathi rolls are a great way to transform leftover curries into a fun, handheld meal. Semi-dry fillings work best because they hold together inside the roti without making it soggy.
- The shredded cabbage is not traditional in every version, but it adds a fresh crunch that balances the rich paneer filling.
- Avoid overcooking the roti before assembling — a softer roti will roll easily and prevent cracking.
- While this recipe uses Kadai Paneer, the same method works beautifully with other dry or semi-dry fillings like aloo, tofu, chana, or mixed vegetable curries.
- For meal prep, keep the filling and toppings separate and assemble fresh when ready to eat.
Step by step
Method
- 01
Warm the rotis or chapatis lightly on a pan. Do not fully crisp them — keeping them soft makes them easier to wrap.
- 02
Spread a thin layer of spicy green chutney over the roti.
- 03
Add a layer of shredded cabbage for crunch.
- 04
Place the semi-dry kadai paneer filling in the center of the roti.
- 05
Add sliced onion rings on top.
- 06
Sprinkle a little extra kadai paneer masala for an additional burst of flavor.
- 07
Drizzle hot and sweet sauce or mayo based on your preference.
- 08
Add cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
- 09
Fold the sides inward, roll tightly, and serve warm.
