This is a very innovative and very different lunch box recipe for kids. I made regular besan chila but added suji/ rawa/semolina, to give it a more healthy twist. Normally we serve it plain but here I made filling of paneer, you can make any filling of your choice (potato, mix veg), but children like more of paneer so I like to go for it.
I bet, your kids gonna love it. This roll doesn't become hard or dry after cooling due to curd added in it, so if your preparing for later consume do add curd.

By the time batter is resting start preparing your batter. If you're planning to pack this in kids school lunch box and get less time in morning for preparation you can prepare filling one night prior.

3. Once tomatoes are soft add grated paneer.
