Sharu's Fundas: Chana Masala Kathi Roll

                    Its june month. I read a post on facebook. Someone had mentioned kids school is starting, so they want some tiffin recipes for their kids. & Kathi roll is loved by kids. So here is my version of making Chana masala kathi Roll. Healthy Version !! I hope your kids will love it.

                   There is a twist in this recipe. You need no chutneys for this as in other Frankie recipes. Hmmmm !! Interesting, isn't it ? Check below what the twist is.

                    I had no chutney at my place. & I already prepared the chana masala stuffing. & also the rotis. I wanted to give it to my husband in his tiffin. I checked in the fridge for coriander leaves to make the chutney. But I was running short of it. So an idea stroke me. I used a ingredient which is mostly available in our houses. Pickle !! Yes you read it right. That's my twist. The recipe turned out to be just awesome. Check the recipe below.

Cook till all the moisture gets dried up.

We need the chickpeas masala to be dry without moisture.

Roti

In a mixing bowl, take wheat flour, all purpose flour, ajwain & salt. Add water as needed to form a dough.

Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

Later divide the dough into small equal sized balls.

With the help of rolling pin make thin rotis out of each ball.

Roast each roti on a tawa from both sides.

Assembling

Take each roti. Spread the pickle evenly on it. Add a spoonful of chickpeas masala in the middle of the roti. Sprinkle some of the salad mix on it along with that lemon juice.
