This is a very innovative and very different lunch box recipe for kids. I made regular besan chila but added suji/ rawa/semolina, to give it a more healthy twist. Normally we serve it plain but here I made filling of paneer, you can make any filling of your choice (potato, mix veg), but children like more of paneer so I like to go for it.
I bet, your kids gonna love it. This roll doesn't become hard or dry after cooling due to curd added in it, so if your preparing for later consume do add curd.
Try this super healthy and super yummy recipe today!!

For Filing:
By the time batter is resting start preparing your batter. If you're planning to pack this in kids school lunch box and get less time in morning for preparation you can prepare filling one night prior.
1. Add 2 tbsp oil in heavy bottomed pan, saut? on high to medium flame till it sweats. Here there in no need to turn it brown.
2. Add chopped tomatoes, salt, chaat masala, turmeric powder, coriander powder and sauce. Cook till it becomes soft.
3. Once tomatoes are soft add grated paneer.
4. Add roasted and crushed kasuri meethi and some freshly chopped coriander leaves.

NOTES:
1. Thinner pancake will be easier to roll and will hold the shape.
