Veg Roll

Indian Street Food has been a never ending story. Every part of India has its flavor in its streets. And we Indians are crazy about it no matter what. But the monsoon season is a threat when you feel hygiene is the biggest concern. But why not try them out at home and gulp the crazy cravings in a weekend evening or night.

The thoughts, I scribbled above, were all mine today, when me and my husband wanted a break from the normal Chapati-Subzi dinner. The very idea of making veg-roll at home came to me.

It’s easy and a treat to your taste buds and for a change you feel wonderful when the ‘Thela’  (movable food stalls) is all set at your home with 100% hygienic and the oil factor is controlled by you too.

The recipe of Veg  Roll goes like this:

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

1. Cabbage – 1/4 medium sized, finely chopped
2. Carrot – 1 finely grated
3. Onions – 1 finely sliced
4. Vegetable Oil – 1 tbsp
5. Pepper – 2 tsp
6. Salt – According to the taste

1. Take 1 cup of  all purpose flour (Maida) add 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp oil to it.

   

2. Add water slowly to the mixture and knead the flour.
3. Knead it till you make a soft dough out of it.

   

4. After the dough is done, keep it for 1 hour.
5. Make small balls out of it and roll it into round shape.

   

   

6. Heat the tawa or griddle.
7. Add the rolled dough into the dough. Let it cook for 1-2 mins till the bubbles come out.

   

8. Turn and let it cook till the bubbles get browned.
9. Add the oil to it and let the covering get a golden brown color.

   

For the filling:

1. Heat a pan. Once the pan is heated, add oil to it.
2. Add the sliced onions and saute it for 1-2 mins.

   

3. Once the onions get translucent, add the finely chopped cabbage and cook it till the water is released from the cabbage and it gets dried up.

   

4. Add the grated carrot and cook it for 1-2 mins.

   

   

5. Then finally add salt according to taste and 2 tsp pepper powder.

   

   

For Assembling:

1. Take the tissue paper and fold it into half.

   

2. Add the Chapati or Roll covers in such a way that half of it stays on the tissue paper.

   

3. Brush 1 tbsp of tomato ketchup and 1/2 tbsp of chili sauce on the surface of the Roll cover.

   

   

4. Place the sliced onions in the center of the cover in a vertical diameter.
