Paneer Kathi rolls

Paneer Vietnamese Spring rolls, Paneer marinated in Indian spices,cooked and stuffed inside Vietnamese rice sheets. The recipe comes with a short quick video on how to roll the vietnamese rolls and Paneer Kathi rolls. I have already posted a Vietnamese fresh spring rolls last year.  Few months back i suddenly got this idea of making paneer kathi rolls using Vietnamese Spring roll sheets. I posted in Jeyashri's kitchen Instagram story. After that i totally forgot about posting the recipe of Paneer Vietnamese rolls. Few days back when i got Fresh paneer from Suvai foods, Singapore, I thought i will try this paneer rolls again. If you get the Vietnamese rice roll sheets in your place, do using the sheets. Else use tortilla wrap or left over chapathi and make it as Paneer Kathi rolls. You can pack this for kids lunch box too.

Notes:

1. You can add freshly shredded cabbage and carrot to the Vietnamese rolls.
2. You can add paneer cubes too, but do not add too much on the rolls and it will be difficult to roll.
3. Adding green chutney and onions mixed with chaat masala enhances the taste of the paneer Vietnamese rolls | Paneer kathi rolls.
