Step 2
Now add 1.5 cups water in the cooker. Place the pan in the cooker.
Step 3
Pressure cook for 2 to 3 whistles on medium flame or for 12 to 15 minutes. The veggies have to cooked well, yet retain their shape. You can also steam veggies in a pan or an electric rice cooker. Cover and keep aside.
Step 4

Step 9

Step 11
Then add ⅓ cup finely chopped onions and saute till the onions turn translucent.
Step 12
Add 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste.
Step 13

Step 14
Add ½ cup chopped tomatoes.
Step 15
Mix well and saute the tomatoes on a low to medium flame for 3 minutes or till they soften.
Step 16
Then add ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder, ½ teaspoon coriander powder and ½ teaspoon garam masala powder. Mix very well. If using regular red chili powder, then add ¼ teaspoon of it.
Step 17

Step 20
On a low to medium flame saute for 4 to 5 minutes. Do make sure that the veg stuffing is dry.
Step 21
Next add ¼ cup chopped coriander leaves. Mix very well.
Step 22
Lastly add ¼ cup grated or crumbled paneer. Paneer is optional and you can skip it. Check the taste and add more salt or chili powder if required. Mix very well and keep the veg stuffing aside.
Step 23
After 30 minutes, divide the dough into small or medium sized balls. This depends on the size of the wraps you want to make. You can also make mini wraps.
Step 24
Dust the dough ball with some flour. Then gently roll to thin roti. The roti should not be thick. If required while rolling, you can add some more flour.
Step 25
Place the roti on a hot tawa. Cook the base till you see bubbles appearing on the rotis or the roti is ¼th cooked. Do note that the tawa should be hot. So cook on a medium-high to high flame. On a low flame, the rotis will become like papads.
Step 26
Then flip roti.
Step 27
Spread some oil all over.
Step 28
Then flip again when the second side is ½ cooked.
Step 29
Spread some oil on this side too. You will see golden blisters on the roti.
Step 30
Flip once or twice more for even roasting. Remove and keep the roti in a roti basket or in a warm casserole. Prepare all rotis this way.
Step 31
Now take a single roti. Place the mix veggie stuffing in the centre. If you have mint coriander chutney, you can also spread some chutney on the rotis, before placing the veg stuffing.
Step 32
Sprinkle some chaat masala powder on top. Add the marinated onions on top of the veg stuffing. You can also add some grated cheddar cheese or paneer on top. Now roll both the sides of the roti
Step 33
You can wrap them in butter paper or aluminium foil from the base, so that while eating the stuffing does not fall down. If you want you can even secure the wraps with a toothpick. You can even pack these in tiffin box. Skip adding onions if packing in tiffin box.
Step 34
Serve veg kathi roll just plain as they taste good the way they are. Or you can accompany some chutney or tomato ketchup by the side.
