Homemade Roti Wrap

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large wooden bowl, add 2 cups of wheat flour. Gradually add approximately 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt, mixing with your hands until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it starts to come together.

Step 2: Add Olive Oil and Knead

Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the dough. Continue kneading for another 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth, soft, and elastic. The dough should be ready when it forms a smooth ball.

Step 3: Divide the Dough

Place the dough on a clean, floured surface or a silicone mat. Roll it into a log shape and then use a dough cutter or knife to divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 4: Shape and Roll Rotis

Take one piece of dough, roll it into a smooth ball, and dust it lightly with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a thin, even circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter. Repeat for the remaining dough pieces.

Step 5: Cook the Roti

Heat a tawa (flat griddle) over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a rolled roti on it. Cook for about 30 seconds until small bubbles appear on the surface, then flip it. Cook for another 30 seconds on the second side.

Step 6: Puff the Roti

Flip the roti again. Using a clean kitchen towel, gently press around the edges of the roti. It should start to puff up. Continue pressing gently and rotating until the roti is fully puffed and has golden-brown spots on both sides. This takes about 1-2 minutes per roti.

Step 7: Serve and Assemble

Remove the cooked roti from the tawa and place it in a basket, optionally spreading a little butter on top. Repeat the cooking process for all rotis. To assemble the wrap, lay a roti flat, add shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and a cooked veggie patty. Drizzle with ketchup and fold the roti to create a wrap. Enjoy immediately.

• Ensure the dough is soft and pliable for best results; adjust water quantity as needed.

• Keep the cooked rotis covered with a clean cloth to retain their softness.

• For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of carom seeds (ajwain) to the dough.

• Fill the wraps with paneer tikka, chicken tikka, or scrambled eggs for different protein options.

• Add a variety of sauces like mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or mayonnaise to enhance the flavor.

• Include other vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, or corn.
