4 roti
8 tbsp makhani sauce

Method
For the shikampuri kebab

Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a broad pan add the onions and saute till they turn dark brown in colour. Remove and keep aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of ghee in the same pan and add the caraway seeds.
When the seeds crackle, add the ginger, green chillies, turmeric powder, chilli powder, mixed vegetables, potatoes and salt and mix well. Mash lightly using the back of a spoon and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring continuously.
Add the mint leaves and coriander and sauté on a medium flame for another minute. Keep aside to cool.
Add the paneer, mava, breadcrumbs, browned onions, pepper and cardamom powder and mix well.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a 50 mm (2”) oval flat kebab. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook each kebab using ½ tsp of oil till they are golden brown in colour from all the sides.
Drain on absorbent paper and keep aside.

How to proceed

Combine the onions, tomatoes and chaat masala in a bowl, mix well and keep aside.
Place a roti on a clean dry surface and place 2 tikkis in a single row in the centre of the roti.
Arrange ¼th of the onion-tomato mixture over the tikkis.
Finally spread 2 tbsp of the makhani gravy over it and roll it up tightly.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more rolls.
Wrap a tissue paper around each roll and serve immediately.
