- Cut all the vegetables uniformly into 1" thin strips.Remove the pulp of tomato and cut into thin strips.

- Heat oil in a kadai/pan and add cumin seeds and nigella seeds and let them splutter.

- Stuff it in a thick chapathi and eat as a kathi roll or you can even stuff it in a sandwiches or foot longs.
- If you want to make a kathi roll out of it spread this curry in the center of thick chapathi lengthwise and top it with julienne onions and sprinkle chaat masala generously,salt and pepper and a dash of tomato ketchup and roll it and serve immediately.
- For foot longs apply tomato ketchup and then spread this curry and top it with julienne onions and serve.
- For a normal sandwich,stuff in between two butter ladened bread slices and toast it in toaster or on a pan and serve it with ketchup.
- If your paneer is slightly hard,immerse them in warm water until its usage which will make it soft.
- You can avoid carrots in the recipe if you do not like them.
- Do not miss nigella seeds,kasuri methi and tomato ketchup in the recipe.As these three ingredients makes this curry taste different from the usual ones.
- Her version had mustard seeds,fenugreek seeds and curry leaves in the seasoning.I avoided mustard seeds and curry leaves as I don't like the mustard seeds and curry leaves popping over those pretty paneer pieces.I replaced fenugreek seeds by kasuri methi which works great for this curry.
- I do not like much of carrots in this recipe,hence I added only one.If you want you can add more carrots in the curry as the original recipe said.

By replacing curry leaves and mustard seeds with methi seeds I am sure the gravy turned out flavoury and looks too tempting
one of India's most fav. and quickest dish I guess. you nailed the recipe and made it perfectly.
I dont mind finishing that whole kadai,love it.
wow...im droooling here!!looks amazing!
absolutely agree with you about the 2-in-1 usage. very smart thing to do with the leftovers or excess.
Looks very inviting..

Omitting mustard is a good idea, ksuri mehti sure takes the dish to a different level, and looks so colourful and healthy, going to try this week.
Looks fabulous, I never tried this before, will try sometime Paneer Bhurji Kathi Rolls
