Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sauté Onions and Capsicum

Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn light pink and translucent. Then, add the finely chopped green capsicum and continue to sauté for a few minutes until slightly softened.

Step 2: Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

Add the finely chopped tomatoes to the pan with the sautéed onions and capsicum. Cook until the tomatoes soften. Season with salt to taste and sprinkle in the oregano. Mix everything well.

Step 3: Incorporate Paneer and Sauce

Once the vegetables are well cooked, add the paneer cubes to the mixture. Stir gently to combine. Then, add the pizza pasta sauce and mix thoroughly. Cook for another minute or two, then turn off the gas. The paneer mixture is now ready.

Step 4: Prepare the Roti Base

Take a whole wheat roti and spread butter evenly on one side. Follow by spreading tomato ketchup over the buttered surface.

Step 5: Assemble the Roti Taco

Place the prepared paneer and vegetable mixture on one half of the roti. Sprinkle a generous amount of grated mozzarella cheese over the filling. Fold the other half of the roti over the filling and gently press to form a taco shape.

Step 6: Cook the Roti Taco

Heat a tawa (griddle) and spread butter on the outer surface of the folded roti taco. Place the buttered taco on the hot tawa. Cook one side until it turns golden brown and crispy. Apply more butter to the top side of the taco before flipping.

Step 7: Finish Cooking and Serve

Flip the roti taco and cook the other side until it is also golden brown and crispy. Once both sides are well-cooked and crunchy, remove it from the tawa and turn off the gas. Cut the Cheesy Paneer Roti Taco in half using a pizza cutter and serve immediately.

Pro Tips

Sauté the vegetables well to remove their raw taste.

Cook the roti tacos on both sides until golden brown and crispy for the best texture.

Recipe Variations

For a spicier version, add chili flakes or red chili powder to the paneer mixture.

You can add other vegetables like corn, mushrooms, or bell peppers of different colors.

This recipe is great for using leftover rotis.
