SPINACH AND PANEER KATI ROLLS
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 226g/8oz block paneer cheese
- cut into 1cm/½oz cubes
- 150g/5½oz spinach leaves
- 4 garlic cloves
- finely chopped
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- ½ tsp red chilli flakes
- ½ tsp salt
- olive oil
- for frying
- 2 free-range eggs
- a pinch of salt
- 4 small tortilla wraps
Directions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the paneer and fry for 5 minutes
- stirring occasionally. You want to colour the paneer as much as possible.
- Put the spinach leaves and 150ml/5fl oz of water into a blender and whiz to a smooth paste – it should resemble a green shake. Add a splash more water if needed.
- Take the paneer out of the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute
- until the garlic is light brown.
- Add the green mixture
- along with the cumin seeds
- chilli flakes and salt
- and cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes
- or until some the water from around the edge has reduced and the mixture has thickened.
- Add the paneer to the pan and mix well
- making sure all the cheese is covered in green. Pop a lid on the pan and leave on a low heat while you make the rolls.
- For the kati rolls
- put a small frying pan over a high heat and add a good glug of oil
- enough to at least cover the base.
- Put the eggs onto a plate with the salt and lightly whisk – the plate needs to be flat enough to be able to dunk the tortillas.
- Dip a tortilla into the egg mixture
- making sure to cover it all over. Get it straight into the frying pan. The oil should be hot enough to really create a sizzle. Cook for 30 seconds
- then turn it over and cook on the other side.
- Cook the other three tortillas the same way.
- To serve
- take a hot crispy tortilla
- add the paneer mixture in the centre and roll up. Not like a burrito
- but the way a kid would make a roll for the first time. If you don’t have cheese falling out the other end
- you’re doing it wrong!
