Ingredients

For dough:

• Jowar flour (sorghum flour), 1 cup (120g)
• Whole wheat flour, ¼ cup (30g)
• Salt, ¼ tsp
• Water as needed

For filling:

• Mixed vegetables (carrots, capsicum, cabbage), 1 cup, finely chopped
• Chickpeas, ½ cup (90g), boiled
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 green chilli, finely chopped
• Fresh coriander leaves, 2 tbsp, chopped
• Salt, 1 tsp
• Cumin seeds, ½ tsp
• Turmeric powder, ½ tsp
• Garam masala, ½ tsp
• Oil for cooking

Method

1. In a bowl, mix the sorghum flour, wheat flour and salt. Then gradually add water, kneading the mix to form a soft dough.
2. Cover and let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
3. Once the dough has rested, divide it into equal portions. It should make 5-6 chapatis.
4. Cook the wraps on a skillet with oil over a medium heat, until both sides are golden brown. Then set the wraps aside.
5. Heat oil in a pan, then add the cumin seeds and cook until they splutter.
6. Add the green chilli and onion. Sauté until the onion is semi-transparent.
7. Next add the mixed vegetables, turmeric powder, garam masala and salt. Cook until the vegetables are tender, then add the coriander leaves and set aside.
8. Using a food processor, blend the boiled chickpeas into a thick paste.
9. On each wrap, add a spoonful of chickpea paste and a portion of the vegetable filling. Roll the wrap tightly, and serve immediately.
