Tips – Veg Curry in a Roti:
- Serve with cooked rice or couscous instead of rotis.
- Use ready-prepared butternut and spinach to save time.
- Add 2 grated or chopped courgettes instead of spinach; add in approximately 4 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
- Add in 150 g brown lentils, soaked and cooked according to instructions. Leave out the tomatoes, chickpeas and spinach. Serve each roti with 30 ml chopped fresh tomato.
- Keep wraps and rotis fresh by storing them in the refrigerator or the freezer.
- The fillings can also be frozen.
- A great way to heat up wraps or rotis is to brush with a little olive oil and sprinkle with some ground cumin or turmeric if, liked; pile one on top of each other. Wet some baking paper and scrunch up into a ball, spread it out and place rotis or wraps on the paper, make a parcel. Place in a heated oven of 180ºC/160ºC fan/Gas mark 4 for approximately 10 minutes; they will be super soft and aromatic!
