Homemade Roti Wrap

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Add 1 cup of wheat flour to a large mixing bowl. Gradually add approximately 1/2 cup of water, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it comes together. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and continue kneading for another 2-3 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes.

Step 2: Divide and Roll the Dough

Place the rested dough on a lightly floured surface or a silicone mat. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions using a dough cutter. Roll each portion into a smooth ball. Lightly dust a dough ball with all-purpose flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough ball into a thin, even circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter. Repeat for the remaining dough balls.

Step 3: Cook the Roti

Heat a tawa (flat griddle) over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one rolled roti onto the tawa. Cook for about 30 seconds until small bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the roti and cook for another 30 seconds. Using a clean kitchen towel, gently press the edges of the roti to help it puff up. Continue flipping and pressing until the roti is fully cooked and has golden-brown spots on both sides. Remove the cooked roti from the tawa and place it in a clean cloth to keep warm. Repeat the cooking process for the remaining rotis.

Step 4: Assemble the Wrap

Take a warm roti and spread a small amount of butter on it. Layer with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Add fried chicken pieces. Drizzle with ketchup or your preferred sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Roll up the roti to form a wrap and enjoy!

• Knead the dough thoroughly to achieve soft and pliable rotis.

• Use a clean kitchen towel to gently press the rotis on the tawa; this helps them puff up evenly.

• Adjust the filling ingredients to your preference, making it vegetarian or adding other proteins.

• For a vegetarian option, fill the wrap with paneer, chickpeas, or mixed vegetables.

• Serve the rotis alongside your favorite curry or dal instead of as a wrap.

• Experiment with different sauces like mint chutney, yogurt sauce, or hot sauce.
