-
Start with the filling. Chop onions and garlic.
-
Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a deep pan. Add onions and garlic. Sautee on a medium heat until the onions are soft, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
-
While the onions are sauteeing, start the dough. Mix 1 cup warm water, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ teaspoons yeast in a large bowl. Wait for the yeast to react (bubble).
-
Add 1 ½ teaspoons salt, ⅓ cup olive oil, and 1 teaspoon curry powder to the water, sugar, and yeast mix. Mix.
-
Add 3 cups of flour to the dough mix. Stir until the dough holds together and is not sticky on the outside.
-
Return to the onions and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of flour and 1 tablespoon of curry powder. Stir constantly for 2 minutes.
-
Add 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cumin. Stir.
-
Let the filling mixture simmer and stir occasionally until it is thick. Add salt, pepper, and curry to taste if desired.
-
Remove the filling from heat (or let simmer on low heat if it is still not thick enough).
-
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 4-5 minutes, or until the dough sticks together in one ball, adding more flour as needed.
-
Lightly flour a rolling pin. Roll out the dough into a 9x13 rectangle.
-
Cut the paneer into small cubes. Add the paneer to the filling and stir.
-
Layer the paneer filling mixture onto the dough. Cover the middle section of the dough with about a ¼ inch of filling.
-
Carefully roll the dough. Pinch the ends to avoid overflowing.
-
Using a serrated blade, slice the dough and place each slice in a greased 9x13 pan.
-
Cover with a thin cloth and let rise for 1 hour.
-
If desired, shred one cup of sharp cheddar and sprinkled it on top of the rolls.
-
Bake at 425° for 30 minutes or until the tops of the rolls are browned.
