I knew Iā€™d want to try out making paneer ā€œsummer rollsā€. Soft paneer would pair well with flavors inspired by those typically found in the Vietnamese dish. Often, these summer rolls include a meat like shrimp and/or pork, vermicelli noodles, and fresh vegetables wrapped in rice paper. decided to go with paneer, mango, red pepper, cucumber and mint, but feel free to use whatever fresh vegetables you have ā€” just know, though delicious, this isnā€™t by any means traditional.

While the sauce is typically made with hoisin and peanut, I decided to add in tamarind chutney to complement the paneer. The sauce makes plenty extra ā€” toss with sesame seeds and cold noodles for a quick lunch. The result is a perfect dish for hot summers ā€” there is almost no cooking required other than a quick grill on the paneer. Get the recipe for Paneer ā€œSummer Rollsā€ with Peanut Tamarind Dipping Sauce.
