Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 beetroot, peeled and cut into small pieces
  • 2-3 carrots, peeled and cut into small pieces
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed
  • 1 green chillie
  • 1 tsp chilli powder or paparika
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil / sesame oil
  • 2 phulkas or roti
  • 1/2 tsp sesasme seeds
  • 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp tumeric
  • cheese, grated

Method
 

Carrot Beetroot Fry / Stuffing
  1. Heat a pan and add oil. Once warm, add mustard seeds, sesame seeds, green chili, and crushed garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
  2. Add the chopped carrots and beetroots and mix well. Sprinkle some salt and turmeric, and stir to combine evenly.
  3. Add chili powder or paprika, mix well, and cover the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the vegetables are soft and cooked, turn off the stove
Making the Roll
  1. I use these store-bought phulkas to save time, though sometimes I use homemade rotis. The phulkas are thin and come out really tasty
  2. Fry the phulka on one side, then flip it. Place the stuffing at one end, sprinkle some grated cheese over the ends, and start rolling the phulka tightly. Cheese will seal the ends (refer to the video attached below)
  3. Transfer the roll from the pan and cut it in half diagonally.
