kathi roll

Kathi roll recipe with step by step photos – delicious wraps or rolls stuffed with a spiced mix veg stuffing. These mix veg kathi roll make for a good brunch, lunch or tiffin box snack.

Veg kathi rolls and some more variations of wraps have been requested by some readers. So I am sharing these recipes. Preparing kathi rolls from scratch takes time. If you have the atta dough ready, then these are more quick to prepare. I am sharing a simple recipe but very tasty. I have already shared two more delicious variations like:

• Paneer kathi roll
• Frankie recipe

In this veg kathi rolls recipe, I have used whole wheat dough to make the rolls. The stuffing is made with mix veggies like cauliflower, green peas, carrots, french beans, capsicum and potatoes. I have also added paneer, though you can skip it if you want. You can also use tofu or extra firm silken tofu instead.

Do prepare the veg stuffing first. then prepare rotis and place them in a roti basket or casserole. If preparing for tiffin, then wrap rotis in foil, paper towels or butter paper.

Serve veg kathi roll plain or with some chutney or raita.
