• Heat oil in a pan, add the ground powder, fry for few seconds. Then add green bell pepper and salute it for less than a minute.
• Add the marinated paneer to the pan and fry until all the spices on the paneer gets cook. To avoid sticking, stir gently.
• Add kasuri methi leaves, onion and tomatoes. Allow them to cook well. Once the onion turns transparent and tomatoes went mushy, switch off the stove.

• Mix all the ingredients and keep close it with the lid for half an hour.
• Divide the dough into medium sized balls. Roll them into a small circle, keep few cilantro leaves and close all the edges together for stuffing.
• Then, dust it with flour, roll them into thin rotis. 
• Cook them on both the sides and store them in the aluminium foil.

Kuchumber

• Mix all the ingredients under the heading kuchumber and keep it aside.
• I hate cucumber, so I din't use that one.

Organize all of them together into Kathi Roll

• Place a roti first, keep kuchumber and then paneer tikka as much as you prefer. According to your taste you can fill the roti.
• Wrap it tightly and again roll it with aluminium foil or butter paper. (I prefer foil)
• Serve it for lunch or dinner.
