Cabbage and Paneer Rolls, Recipe by Tarla Dalal

Cabbage and Paneer Rolls,

One of the wondrous snacks from Oriental cuisine, the Cabbage and Paneer Roll is a sumptuous treat with a peppy flavour. The crunch of grated cabbage and spring onions together with the succulence of crumbled paneer gives these rolls an awesome mouth-feel, while a dash of hot chilli sauce gives it a spicy twist.
