Palak paneer rolls recipe | Paneer palak kathi roll recipe

By swasthi , on July 20, 2019, 9 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Palak paneer rolls recipe – Kids’ friendly lunch or breakfast recipe of palak roti rolls stuffed with paneer. It’s been a long time since I shared some healthy recipes for kids, so will be sharing a few which I make for my kids and have been loved by them. I have 2 of the world’s most fussiest kids at home and often make recipes that yield healthy, filling and ofcourse delicious foods. This is one such recipe which has been used countless number of times for their lunch box or after school meal.

I agree this does take some time to make palak roti first but the filling doesn’t take much time and can be made in just 6 to 8 minutes. If you have kids who do not like to eat Palak or spinach in the regular form like palak rice, palak dal, palak paneer etc, then this will be a good try. I have kept the recipe simple and this is how I make it. You can use more fresh shredded veggies if you have the time and patience.

Do not skip tomato in the recipe it binds the paneer well and prevents drying up. If you wish to limit the consumption of paneer , you can reduce the quantity of paneer and use veggies like bell pepper and green peas.

If making for the school box, I clean the palak the previous night. But make the puree and knead the dough in the morning. But making the puree and kneading the dough also can be done in the night and refrigerated.

    Made the Palak roll with paneer stuffing using this recipe. Instead of grating, I chopped the paneer into extremely tiny cubes. Ate with some tomato ketchup. Tasted wonderful. Thanks!

      Hi Sheerin
      First avoid the long green variety banana and use only the yellow small ones. Cold, wheezing and phlegm in babies and toddlers can be mainly due to indigestion. Any food that is not digested becomes phlegm and results in cold. Serve only fresh cooked foods and avoid solid foods after 7.30 pm. Do not give incompatible foods together like fruit and milk, egg and milk, fruit and yogurt, yogurt and egg. Dal and yogurt. You can find more similar tips in the comment section in baby food chart posts on this blog. Hope this helps.
