The Paneer Veggie Wrap is a simple, vibrant, and wholesome Indian-style wrap that combines the goodness of vegetables with soft, protein-rich paneer. This wrap is especially popular because it uses leftover chapattis, turning them into a fresh, delicious meal with minimal effort. Lightly pan-cooking the chapattis with a touch of peanut oil brings back their softness and warmth, making them the perfect base for a flavourful stuffing.
The filling for this paneer vegetable wrap is a colourful blend of low-fat paneer, grated cabbage, carrot, green chillies, and coriander. These ingredients contribute a wonderful mix of textures—soft paneer, crunchy cabbage, and juicy carrot—while adding fibre, vitamins, and freshness. The green chillies offer a gentle heat, and coriander brings an earthy aroma that lifts the entire flavour profile of the filling.
A thin layer of green chutney spread across the warm chapatti adds tanginess and spice, which perfectly complements the creamy paneer and fresh vegetables. Adding sliced onions and a sprinkle of chaat masala introduces crunch and chatpata flavour, instantly giving this wrap that classic Indian street-style feel. When rolled tightly, the wrap becomes easy to eat and ideal for lunchboxes, snacks, or a quick on-the-go meal.
As a homemade alternative to street-style paneer frankie, this wrap is much healthier and lighter. It avoids heavy sauces, excess cheese, and refined flour rolls, making it suitable for families and kids. The minimal use of oil, combined with fresh ingredients, keeps the wrap nutritious and guilt-free, while still offering a satisfying taste and texture. It’s a perfect example of turning everyday ingredients into something exciting and wholesome.
From a nutritional standpoint, this wrap qualifies as a healthy paneer wrap, especially since it uses low-fat paneer and whole wheat chapattis. Paneer provides protein and calcium, while vegetables offer fibre and antioxidants. The peanut oil used in very small quantities adds healthy fats, making the wrap balanced and energizing. This combination keeps you full for longer and prevents overeating.
When it comes to diabetes, this wrap can be suitable with simple portion control. Whole wheat chapattis have a medium glycemic index, and the high fibre from vegetables slows down sugar release. Low-fat paneer adds protein, which helps maintain steady blood sugar levels. Diabetics should avoid adding too much chutney or chaat masala (due to sodium) and stick to just one wrap per meal.
For heart health, this wrap is a good option because it uses low-fat paneer, minimal oil, and plenty of vegetables. Using whole wheat chapattis instead of maida-based rolls improves fibre intake and supports cholesterol control. Peanut oil contains heart-friendly monounsaturated fats, and the fibre-rich veggies help maintain artery health. Limiting salt and avoiding extra chutneys makes it even safer.
For weight loss, the Paneer Veggie Wrap is an excellent choice because it is low in calories, high in fibre, and rich in protein. The combination of paneer and vegetables increases satiety and reduces cravings. Using leftover rotis also makes it a smart, sustainable meal choice. Those aiming for weight loss should choose low-fat paneer, avoid excess oil, and pair the wrap with a bowl of salad or buttermilk for a complete, light meal.

For Paneer Veggie Wrap you can use left-over chapati. If you want to make chapati, take a deep bowl and add approx. ¾ cup of whole wheat flour to it. We need to take a deep bowl so that the flour and the other ingredients do not fall off while we are mixing or kneading the dough.
-
Add ½ tsp of oil to this. Adding oil makes the chapatis soft.
-
Now add salt to taste. Increase or decrease the quantity of salt to your liking. Some people like their chapatis bland ,so you can even skip adding salt to your chapati dough.
-
Add water gradually. Be careful while adding water. Adding too much of water initially will make it difficult for you to knead.
-
Mix it well with your hands. Gather the flour from all sides. Add more water if it is required.
-
Make a soft dough by kneading it for at least 2 minutes. We have used approximately 1/4 cup of water. You may require more or less, as the amount of water depends upon the quality of the flour.
-
Apply a little oil on the surface of the dough before you keep it for resting, so that it doesn’t become dry. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth. You can also use a food grade quality cling film or a plate to cover the dough.
-
Keep the chapati dough for Paneer Veggie Wrap aside for 15 minutes. This resting period improves the texture of the dough, makes it easier to roll and makes the chapatis softer and fluffier.
-
Your next step is to divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
-
Sprinkle a little flour on your rolling board and flatten a portion of the dough on it. This will prevent the dough from sticking to your board.
-
Roll out each portion of the dough into a thin circle of 7” (roughly 175 mm.) diameter. You can increase or decrease the size of the chapati as per your preference.
-
Take a flat non-stick tava (griddle) and heat it on a high flame. Reduce the flame when it becomes hot i.e when u can see fumes on your tava . Drizzle a few drops of water, if it sizzles, your tawa is ready.
-
Put the rolled-out chapati on the tava. You need to cook it till small blisters appear on the surface. Make sure that your tawa is on medium flame.
- Turn the chapati over and cook for about 5-7 seconds on a medium flame till light brown spots appear.
- Flip and again cook the chapati for Paneer Veggie Wrap for 5 to 7 seconds.
-
Place the chapati for Paneer Wrap on a clean and dry surface. Repeat with the remaining dough portions to make 3 more chapatis. Keep aside.
