Tips

The recipe is no rocket science and takes only basic ingredients to make it. Yet some important and basic tips and suggestions are –
  1. Wrap Quality – The wrap should be soft and moist so that it can be easily rolled. If the roti wrap turns hard, it may not be usable or to shape it.
  2. Rolling Technique – Place the vegetables and patties at the center. Also, wrap it tightly so that the stuffing and sauce do not ooze out while eating it.
  3. Condiments – Try to mix and match the sauce so that all flavors are combined to make it lip-smacking. In short, try to have the sweet, spicy, and savory flavors added to it.
  4. Vegetables Stuffing – Keep it simple and use basic vegetables like onions, carrots, and shredded lettuce.
  5. Spice Mix – You may top it up with Frankie masala to make it more flavored and exciting.
