Diwali sushi rolls bring together the best of both worlds: the richness of paneer tikka and the art of Japanese sushi-making. It’s a dish that looks global but tastes deeply Indian. The smoky paneer tikka balances perfectly with mint chutney, crunchy veggies, and sticky rice. These shushi rolls are simply customisable, as you can even add pickled onions or spicy mayo for extra zing. Perfect for Diwali house parties, these rolls are healthy, vegetarian, and easy to prepare ahead of time.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Marinate the Paneer

In a bowl, mix yoghurt, red chilli powder, turmeric, cumin, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt. Add paneer cubes and coat well. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the spices.

Step 2: Grill or Pan-Fry

Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Cook the marinated paneer until each cube turns golden and slightly charred. This smoky touch gives the sushi its signature Indian aroma.

Step 3: Prepare the Rolling Base

Place a bamboo mat on a clean surface and lay a nori sheet on top, shiny side down. Keep a bowl of water handy to dip your fingers before handling rice.

Step 4: Spread the Rice

Evenly spread a thin layer of cooked sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top for sealing. Gently press it down to ensure uniform thickness.

Step 5: Add the Fillings

Smear a line of mint chutney across the rice, place grilled paneer cubes, and add julienned cucumber and carrots. You can drizzle a little lemon juice for freshness.

Step 6: Roll and Slice

Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you. Press gently to shape it into a firm log. Slice with a sharp wet knife into bite-sized pieces.
