💡 Expert Tips
- 1.Don't overcook paneer. It's already cooked; just needs char.
- 2.Cornstarch in marinade. Helps it stick and crisp.
- 3.Chaat masala at end. Defines the Indian flavor.
- 4.Warm bread. Cold cracks when rolled.
🔬 Why It Works
Paneer wraps work as a vegetarian alternative to chicken tikka rolls — same marinade and method, just with cheese instead of chicken. Paneer holds shape under high heat (unlike most cheeses) and absorbs marinade flavor. The combination with chutney, fresh vegetables, and warm flatbread creates a satisfying handheld meal.
