Eggplant Roti Wrap
I am fond of Mediterranean food, so I made my own version of wrap inspired by Mediterranean flavors. I used big sized roti/chapati for the wrap, eggplant pakoras/fritters along with home-made hummus and mint chutney.
For HUMMUS
- 1 cup garbenzo beans
- 3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed (optional)
- Salt as per taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For Mint Chutney
- A Bunch of Mint leaves
- garlic 3 flakes
- 3 - 4 green chillies
- Lemon as per taste
- 1 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1-2 tsp water (if needed)
- salt as per taste
For EGGPLANT PAKORAS/Fritters
- 2 cups Besan -
- Eggplant - 2 or 3 in number. You can use the big sized eggplant also.
- 1 teaspoon Ajwain -
- chili powder as per taste
- Salt as per taste
- chat masala - according to taste
For HUMMUS
Soak the chickpeas in 4 cups of water over night.
In pressure cooker add chickpeas with the 3 cups of water. Close the cooker and put the pressure on.
Cook on medium high heat.
As pressure cooker starts steaming turn the heat down to medium and cook for about 4 minutes.
Close the heat and wait until steam has stopped before opening the pressure cooker.
Drain the water and let it cool.
Blend all the ingredients except olive oil and make a pourable paste use water as needed.
Add olive oil after taking it from the blender.
Keep aside.
For Mint Chutney
Put all the ingredients in the mixer and grind it till chutney turns smooth.
For EGGPLANT PAKORAS/Fritters
Slice eggplant into thin circles.
In a bowl add besan, ajwain, chat masala, chili powder and salt to taste. Mix well. Add water to make a thick batter.
Dip each slice of eggplant in the batter and deep fry until golden brown.
Serving Suggestion for EGGPLANT ROTI WRAP
Take a roti and spread hummus and mint chutney in the center of it.
Place 3-4 eggplant pakoras on it.
Then add some diced onions and tomatoes to it.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper according to your taste.
Sprinkle some roasted cumin seeds.
Garnish it with few cilantro leaves.
Fold both sides of the roti and envelope one side of the roti with food grade/aluminium foil to prevent the filling from sliding out.
