Method
- Steam the vegetables on a medium flame for 12-15 minutes and keep them aside.
- In a mixing bowl, take 2 cups of 7-star wholemeal flour and mix it with ½ tsp salt.
- Next, begin kneading the dough by adding 1 cup of water and 1 tbsp of oil in parts as needed.
- Knead until the dough is smooth, after which it should be covered and left aside to rest for 30 minutes.
- Mix the ingredients needed for topping (marinated onion) in a small bowl. Cover it and refrigerate it until needed.
- To make the stuffing for Kathi rolls, heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan and add carom seeds and cumin seeds. Wait for them to splutter.
- Then, add the finely chopped onions, and saute until the onions turn translucent.
- Next, add the garlic-ginger paste and stir until the aroma of garlic and ginger fades away.
- After that, add the chopped tomatoes, and saute them on low to medium heat until they soften.
- Then add the rest of the spices listed under ingredient list no. 2 and mix well.
- Now you can add the bell peppers and saute for 2-3 minutes, after which you can add the steamed veggies. Add salt to taste and mix very well.
- On a low to medium flame, saute the vegetable stuffing mixture until dry and add the chopped coriander leaves and mix well.
- Now, take the dough, divide it into small balls, and dust them with a bit of flour and roll them into thin rottis. These shouldn’t be thick.
- Place the rottis on a hot pan on medium to high flame (one at a time) and cook until you see bubbles appearing on their surface.
- Gently turn the roti over and spread oil all over it.
- Turn it over again once the second side is cooked as well. Spread oil on this side too.
- Flip one or two times again to evenly roast the roti.
- Once the rottis are out of the pan, take a single roti, place the vegetable stuffing in its centre, and sprinkle chaat masala powder on top of it.
- Add the marinated onion on top of the vegetable stuffing. Grated cheddar cheese can be added as well.
- Now roll the roti from both sides and secure the wraps with a toothpick (You can even wrap them in aluminium foil or butter paper for ease of eating).
