Chilli Paneer Wrap ( Wraps and Rolls)
by Tarla Dalal

Perk up the ever-popular chilli paneer with rice and stir-fried vegetables prepared in oriental style. The spiciness is enhanced by lacing it with sweet and sour sauce. Though elaborate, the experience is definitely worth the effort!

its only the prep time which is more…. The cooking time is very minimal. So finish your pre-preps and leave the actual cooking and assorting when guests arrive as making the chilli paneer too much in advance might render them chewy.
