4th segment - Dough making

1)Maida(all purpose flour) - little more than 1 cup
2)Atta(whole wheat flour) - 3/4th cup
3)Salt to taste
4)Oil - 1 1/2 tblsp
5) Water - to make the dough


I had very little homemade paneer,so had to add potatoes,you can as well make only paneer stuffing,with same above mentioned stuffing ingredients.One little tip,do not throw away the water which is left behind when you make panner,it will come in handy when you make dough for roti or parata..it will make them very soft.

First,make the dough and keep aside.It should be same as any roti or chapathi dough.

Next step,make a chutney with the above mentioned chutney ingredients.Do not add more water,it should in the form of spreadable paste.

Third step,keep the thinly sliced vegetables ready.Add,the above mentioned marinating ingredients and keep aside.Water will start to come out,drain it carefully.

Now comes the stuffing part,mix all the above mentioned stuffing ingredients(except oil) in a big bowl.Heat a pan,add oil.Add the potato mixture,saute for about 5 minutes till all the ingredients are mixed and cooked well.Switch off and allow it to cool down.

Next,start making the roti's.Just like our normal rotis,roll it and cook on a tava.Add,little oil and cook on both sides.Using a pulka stand,allow the rotis to puff up a bit,this will give some dark brown burnt marks and tastes really good.

Finally,comes the assembling part.Take a roti,apply green chutney in the middle.Over it,arrange the marinated vegetables.Take the potato mixture and try to make a cylindrical shape,it will be easy to roll when it is in this shape.Place it over the vegetables.You can sprinkle some lemon juice if needed.That's it,roll it from one end to the other,wrap with a foil.It is a fun and fancy way to serve it!!

Yummy kati roll is ready!!Serve it with some more green chutney..Enjoy
