Whether you’re at home or on the go, this recipe is simple to follow, using roti (Indian flatbread) as the base for a delicious wrap. Let’s dive into the step-by-step guide for making your own veggie wraps.
Ingredients:
For the Veggie Filling:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup paneer or tofu (cubed, optional for added protein)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
For the Sauce (Optional but Highly Recommended):
- 2 tablespoons yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or tahini (for creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon chili sauce (or ketchup)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Roti:
- 2 large rotis (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Veggie Filling:
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add chopped onions and sauté for a couple of minutes until they turn soft and translucent.
- Toss in the bell pepper, carrot, and zucchini. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly but still retain a crunch.
- Add the sweet corn, followed by the cumin powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes, letting the flavors meld together. If you’re using paneer or tofu, add it at this point and sauté for an additional minute.
- Remove from heat and set the filling aside.
2. Make the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine yogurt, mayonnaise (or tahini), lemon juice, chili sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined. Adjust the seasoning to your liking.
3. Assemble the Wraps:
- Warm the rotis on a flat pan for a few seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
- Spread a generous spoonful of the prepared sauce in the center of each roti.
- Add a portion of the veggie filling over the sauce, ensuring it’s evenly spread.
- Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves for a burst of flavor.
- Fold the sides of the roti inwards and roll tightly, ensuring the filling stays securely inside.
4. Serve:
- Slice the wraps in half diagonally or enjoy them whole.
- Serve with additional dipping sauce or a side of fresh salad.
Tips and Variations:
- Veggies: You can customize the veggies according to your preference. Try adding mushrooms, broccoli, or spinach for more variety.
