Serves – 4
Ingredients:
All purpose flour (Maida) – 2 cups
Paneer – 2 cups cut into tiny pieces or grated
One small onion chopped into small pieces
Minced ginger – 1 tsp
Minced garlic – 1 tsp
Two green chilies chopped into tiny pieces
Black pepper powder – 1/2 tsp
Soy sauce – 1 tsp

Oil – 2 tbsp
Salt as needed.
Method:
1. In a bowl take flour, oil, and salt. Mix the dough well until the oil gets incorporated into the dough. Now add little water and knead into a smooth firm dough and keep aside for 30 min.
2. Put 1 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add in the chopped onion, minced ginger & garlic, and chopped green chilies. Add a pinch of salt and stir.
3. Once the onions are translucent, mix with the paneer and fry for a few minutes. Then add soy sauce, black pepper powder, and mix well. Once it is mixed, switch off the stove and keep it aside.
4. Divide the dough into lemon sized balls. Roll each ball into a small, flat roti size. Apply some oil on top of each roti and sprinkle flour on top to avoid rotis sticking to each other. Stack rotis on top of each other.
5. Take three of the smaller rotis and combine into one big roti, as shown in the video.
6. Heat the pan at a medium heat, place one of the large roti on the pan, and wait till some bubbles appear. Now flip the roti on its other side and slowly remove the top layer as shown in the video/pictures. Remove the roti from the pan and slowly separate the layers ( you need to separate 3 individual thin rotis) as shown in the video/pictures.
Repeat the above steps for each set and put aside the rotis.
7. Beat one egg in a bowl. Heat pan on medium heat and place one of the thin rotis on it. Apply the egg, flip it to the other side and cook for a minute. Repeat it for all the rotis and keep the completed rotis aside.
8. Take one cooked roti and place 2 tbsp of stuffing and roll, as shown in the video. Roll in aluminum foil and set aside.
*you can add any veggies of your choice to the stuffing
