1. What Are Paneer Rice Paper Rolls?

Paneer rice paper rolls are a delightful fusion snack where savoury paneer filling is wrapped in thin rice paper. The combination of creamy paneer, sautéed garlic, and chilli, seasoned with a mix of spices, creates a bold and tangy filling. The rice paper holds everything together in a light, slightly chewy wrap, perfect for quick bites. You can serve them as is or give them a slight pan-fry to make them crispy and add a little crunch. Fresh veggies can also be included in the filling, giving each bite a refreshing crispness.

2. How to Make Paneer Rice Paper Rolls

This recipe is incredibly easy and takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish! Here’s the simple 7-step process to make these delicious rolls.

  1. Start by crumbling the paneer in a bowl. This creates a nice, soft texture that’s easy to wrap in rice paper.
  2. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and green chilli. Sauté for a few minutes until the garlic is golden and the onions are soft.
  3. Add the crumbled paneer to the pan and mix well. Season with salt, pepper, chilli flakes, oregano, and a dash of chilli oil for an extra kick. Stir everything until the flavours combine.
  4. For a spicy, tangy twist, add a teaspoon of Schezwan sauce. Mix thoroughly and cook for another minute, then set aside to cool slightly.
  5. Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip each rice paper sheet in the water for about 10–15 seconds until it softens. Then, cut the softened rice paper in half.
  6. Place a spoonful of the paneer mixture on each rice paper half. You can either roll it tightly or fold it into a square shape. Add a few fresh veggies to each roll for added crunch, if desired.
  7. If you prefer a crispy texture, lightly pan-fry the rolls for a minute or two on each side until golden.

And there you have it—a delicious batch of paneer rice paper rolls ready to serve! These rolls are not only tasty but also versatile, so you can enjoy them as a snack or a light meal.
