Paneer Flutes

Paneer lovers i hope your listening. Yes, if your a paneer lover am sure you will definetly love this easy recipe. Its also a easy snack to prepare for the kids once they get back from school.

Ingredients:
For Wrapper
2 cups all purpose flour (or use wheat flour)
1 tbsp ghee/oil (optional)
salt to taste 
For the Stuffing
1 cup crumbled paneer
1/4 cup approx of v finely chopped red onions
1-2 green chillies, chopped finely (or as per taste)
1-2 cloves of garlic, finely minced (or as per taste)
1/4 cup fresh mozzarella, crumbled (or use grated mozzarella)
1/4 cup tomatoes, finely chopped
1 inch ginger, peeled and grated
1-2 drops of rice vinegar (or use regular - optional)
few sprigs of cilantro, chopped
salt to taste (little since wrapper also has salt)

Best tip: if your short of time you can easily buy the ready made sheets available in the markets for the wraps.

Take the wheat flour in a bowl. Add enough water to mould it into a soft dough. Knead till its smooth and fluffy. Meanwhile prepare the filling. On a stove top in 1 tsp oil, add all the ingredients together except the cheese. Saute until soft. You can do a taste test and change the seasoning according to your taste. Remove from heat and add fresh mozzarella along with cilantro. I find that adding the fresh ones make this so much more tastier. But regular grated one will work just fine. Toss until well mixed.Take the dough (divide into two or  three smaller pieces) and roll it out into a large rectangle. Cut them into smaller rectangles.Take one piece. Add the stuffing in shorter end of the rectangle making sure to leave few inches near the edges.



Roll it twice, bring the edges of the filling together (this is to prevent the filling from seeping out during frying). and then continue rolling until you reach the end. You can use a beaten egg or water mixed with flour mixture to bind the dough. I applied flour water mixture at the end. Now fry these up in hot oil.
