Roll each paneer tikka satay in the mint leaves till they are evenly coated from all sides.
Place a spinach roti on a clean dry surface and slide the paneer tikkas from 1 satay stick in a single row in the centre of the roti, gently using a knife.
Arrange ¼th of the onion, cabbage and carrot mixture over the paneer tikkas.
Finally spread ¼th of the marinade and 1½ tbsp of pahadi marinade over it and roll it up tightly.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more wraps.
Wrap a tissue paper around each wrap and serve immediately.
