Bread Paneer roll recipe – A quick baked bread snack that is made with Indian cottage cheese. This is similar to the bread roll recipe that i had shared earlier. Today’s version is made with homemade paneer and green peas with out the addition of potatoes or any other veggies. Since these are made using only paneer, they are a heavy snack. For a lighter version you can add in some chopped carrots, capsicum and beans. Saute them until done before adding paneer.
These bread rolls recipe can be doubled or tripled and can be baked or shallow fried. If shallow frying, I suggest using not very fresh bread as it soaks up lot of oil. Toast the bread slices lightly for a while on the tawa only to remove excess moisture from them. Do not over do as it will make the bread very dry and does not roll well.

How to make bread paneer roll
1. I make my paneer freshly for most recipes. You can skip this step if you already have 1 cup crumbled paneer. Strain the paneer in a muslin cloth and squeeze off the excess whey. Make a knot and hang it for 30 mins.
2. Heat a pan with oil. Add cumin. When they crackle add ginger garlic paste and saute until the raw smell goes away.
3. Add green peas and saute for 2 mins.
4. Add red chili powder, garam masala and salt.
5. Off the stove. Add crumbled paneer and salt.
6. Mix everything well and adjust the salt. Divide the dough to 6 to 8 parts. Make oblong shaped balls.
7. Flatten the bread slices with a rolling pin.
8. Make a thin paste of the corn flour. Apply that to the edges.
9. Place the filling and roll it gently. Stick the edges well.
10. Brush them with oil or butter. Tawa fry them.
11. or Bake bread paneer roll s until golden in a preheated oven at 180 to 200 C for 5 to 8 mins or until golden.

Can it done on stove?
swasthi says
yes they can be done but will not turn very golden. Just brush them generously with butter or oil and fry on a tawa until light golden.
