SPINACH SWISS ROLLS

It's a simple recipe made with a combination of oats and vegetables. I used half ratio of both maida and oats. One can use 100% maida also but to make it more healthy I added half quantity of oats.

Adding atta (Whole wheat flour) makes it little hard.

I had some leftover spinach so cooked it and used as filling, you can use any filling of your choice, cooked potato, mix vegetable or saute cabbage also go very well with this roll.

Make sure that dough is not too soft or too hard.

Keep the dough after rolling with filling in freezer. It will give neat chopped rolls.


INGREDIENTS
For dough: 
1 cup wheat flour (Maida)
1 cup fine powdered oats
3 tbsp oil
1 tsp salt

For filling: 
1 chopped onion
1 cup washed and chopped spinach


1/2 cup grated or crumbled paneer
1/2 schezwan sauce or tomato sauce
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp chaat masala
salt and chili to taste

 METHOD
In a bowl, mix together maida, oats, salt and oil. Knead a little hard dough using water. Cover with the cloth and keep aside for 15 minutes. Till that time prepare the filling.

In a pan, heat oil add cumin seeds. Let it turn brown, add chopped onion and saute till golden in colour. Add chopped spinach and saute on high flame till the water is completely dry.

Turn off the gas, let it come down to room temperature. Add crumbled paneer, salt, chili, oregano, garam masala, chaat masala and mix well.

The filling should be dry so make sure to dry the water of spinach.

Now take the dough and divide it into 2 equal portions.

Take one portion at a time roll it thinly with rolling pin. Spread schezwan or tomato sauce all over, keep spinach paneer filling. Roll it giving as many folds as possible.

Keep it in freezer for 10 minutes.

Cut the roll into medium sized pieces. While cutting don't put pressure on roll or filling will come out, use sharp knife for best results. Press the rolls with light hands.

Heat oil and deep fry on medium flame. Don't fry on high flame or spinach filling will burn.

You can bake it also at 180 degree Celsius for 10-12 minutes.
