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!
