Method
For the paneer satays

Combine the paneer cubes and soya sauce in a bowl and toss well.
On a satay stick, arrange 6 pieces of paneer cubes. Repeat with the remaining paneer cubes to make 3 more satays.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook the satays on a medium flame using oil till the paneer is light brown in colour from all the sides. Keep aside.

For peanut sauce

Heat the oil in a deep pan and add the cumin seeds.
When the cumin seeds crackle, add the lemon grass-onion paste and sauté for a minute.
Add all the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
Simmer for a few minutes till the sauce thickens, while stirring continuously. Keep aside to cool.

For the khimchi salad

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and leave aside for 30 minutes.
Drain out the excess water and keep aside.

How to proceed

Place a roti on a clean dry surface and slide the paneer satay from 1 satay stick in a single row in the centre of the roti, gently using a knife.
Spread ¼th of each of the peanut sauce and hot garlic sauce over the paneer satay.
Finally arrange ¼th of the khimchi salad 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.

Handy tip :

To make ½ cup boiled kabuli chana paste, soak 1/3 cup of raw kabuli chana overnight. Next day, drain well and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste, using enough water.
To make 1\4 cup of roasted peanut paste, roast 1\4 cup of raw peanuts on a slow flame till the peanuts turn light brown in colour. Blend in a mixer to a smooth thick paste, using 2 tbsp of water and use as per the recipe
