Method
For the paneer tikka, heat the mustard oil and add the red chilli powder. Allow it to cool down a bit and add all the other ingredients except the cubed paneer. Whisk to make a smooth marinade.
Add the paneer and rest for 30 mins in the fridge.
Grill them until it has char/grill marks on both sides
Remove, slice and toss in chaat masala, lemon juice and melted butter.
For the second mixture, heat olive oil in a pan and add the chopped garlic, saute until light brown. Add the onions, corn and capsicum and saute until soft.
Add the red chilli flakes, cumin powder and mixed dry herbs. Add salt and mix well.
Finally, add the tomatoes and mix well.Set aside this mixture.
Place the rotis on a board and apply some of the leftover marinade, place some of the mixture on one half, place the paneer, add some grated cheese on top and fold into a semi-circle shape.
Oil both the sides and further cook on a tava until golden brown and the cheese melts.
