Ingredients

• 200 grams Paneer
• 8 pieces Lettuce leaves (large)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 small Cucumber
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cubing the paneer into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the paneer cubes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides. Once done, remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 4

Thinly slice the red bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion. Finely chop the cilantro leaves.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked paneer, sliced bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, lemon juice, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Mix the ingredients well, ensuring the paneer is evenly coated with the spices and lemon juice.

Step 7

Lay two lettuce leaves slightly overlapping each other. Place a generous amount of the paneer mixture in the center of the leaves.

Step 8

Fold the edges of the lettuce leaves over the filling to form a wrap, burrito-style.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and paneer mixture to make four wraps in total.

Step 10

Serve immediately for maximum freshness, allowing the crispness of the lettuce and the spiced paneer to shine together in a delightful crunch.
