Method

For the makhani sauce

Combine the tomatoes, cloves, cashewnuts and oil with ¼ cup of water and blend in a mixer to a smooth purée.
Strain the purée using a strainer and keep aside.
Melt the butter in a broad pan and add the cumin seeds.
When the seeds crackle, add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a few seconds.
Add the onions and sauté on a medium flame till they turn translucent.
Add the strained tomato purée, chilli powder, fresh cream, garam masala, dried fenugreek leaves, tomato ketchup, sugar and salt, mix well and bring to boil. Keep aside to cool.
Add ¼ cup of water and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste. Keep aside.

For the paneer tikkas

Combine the paneer cubes, onion cubes, capsicum cubes and the marinade in a bowl and toss gently. Keep aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
On a satay stick, arrange 4 pieces each of paneer, capsicum and onion cubes alternatively. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more satays.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook the satays on a medium flame using oil till the paneer is light brown in colour from all sides. Keep aside.

How to proceed

Combine the cabbage, carrots and chaat masala in a bowl, mix well and keep aside.
Place a roti on a clean dry surface and slide the paneer tikkas from 1 satay stick in a single row in the centre on the roti, gently using a knife.
Arrange ¼th of the cabbage-carrot mixture over the paneer tikkas.
Finally spread ¼th of the makhani sauce and over it and roll it up tightly.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more rolls.
Wrap a tissue paper around each roll and serve immediately.
