Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the batter is not too runny; it should be thick enough to spread evenly on the pan.

  2. You can adjust the spice level by adding or omitting the green chili and Schezwan sauce.

  3. Use a non-stick pan to prevent the crepes from sticking.

  4. Serve the parcels with a side of mint chutney or ketchup for added flavor.

FAQS

  1. Can I use any other flour instead of semolina?

    Semolina gives the parcels their unique texture, but you can try using rice flour or whole wheat flour as an alternative.

  2. Can I make these parcels ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the filling and batter ahead of time. Assemble and cook the parcels just before serving for the best taste.

  3. What can I use instead of Schezwan sauce?

    You can use chili sauce or tomato ketchup as a substitute for Schezwan sauce.

  4. Can I make this recipe vegan?

    Yes, replace yogurt with a plant-based alternative and use tofu instead of paneer. Skip the cheese or use vegan cheese.

  5. What is the best way to store leftovers?

    Store the cooked parcels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them on a pan before serving.
