Method

For the filling

Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the garlic and sauté for a few seconds.
Add the cabbage, red capsicum, bean sprouts, carrot, sugar and salt, mix well and sauté on medium flame for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the schezuan sauce and tomato ketchup, mix well and cook on a medium flame for a minute, while stirring continuously.
Add the paneer, mix well and cook on a medium flame for another minute.
Cool slightly and divide the mixture into 15 equal portions. Keep aside.

How to proceed

Cut each samosa patti into 3 equal pieces so as to make 15 pieces.
Place a piece of the samosa patti on a flat dry surface and place a portion of the filling at one pointed edge.
Roll each patti towards the opposite pointed edge and stick the edges with a little flour paste to form a cylindrical shape as shown in the image.
Brush a little oil on the rolls and place them on a greased baking tray.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at the temperature of 180ºc (360ºf) for 30 minutes or till they turn brown and crisp.
