Ingredients and Method to make Roasted Veggie Wrap

This cilantro mint chutney as required
Whole wheat flat bread as required (recipe follows) (see notes)

a few toothpicks (optional) (to hold the wrap together)

For the roasted vegetables
2 large green bell peppers deseeded and cut into long 1/4 inch sticks
1 large eggplant cut into half then cut into 1/4 inch long sticks
2 red onions cut lengthwise
6 mushrooms cut into thin slices (optional)

1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp red chili powder (or cayenne) (or to taste)
1 tsp garam masala ( or any other curry powder ) (or to taste)
1/4 tsp dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) (optional)

Pre heat oven to 425 deg F. Prepare a couple of flat baking trays by lining them with aluminum foil.

Wash and dry all the veggies except onions. Peel onions and cut all the vegetables to desired lengths.

Add all the spices to oil and mix well.  Take a large bowl and add one type of vegetable. Sprinkle with a 1/4th of the oil and toss well until all the pieces are evenly coated. Spread the vegetable on the prepared tray.

Proceed with the rest of the rest of the vegetables in the same manner and spread on the prepared trays. Place the trays in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the veggies begin to get light brownish spots. Remove and keep the vegetables aside.


For the Flatbread 

1 and 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
salt to taste
approx 3/4 cup water (or as needed)
a little extra flour for dusting.

In a large mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour and salt to taste and mix well. Add water slowly and knead to make a soft and non sticky dough. Keep the dough covered for about 30 minutes or so.

Pinch out a lemon sized piece of dough, roll it into a smooth ball. With the help of a little flour roll out the dough into an even circle. Heat a flat pan/ griddle/ tawa and place the rolled out dough on it. Cook until the lower side has small golden brown spots. Flip over and cook the other side. Press slightly if required with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Remove and keep aside. Proceed with the rest of the dough in the same manner.

To assemble the wrap


Take one whole wheat flat bread, apply a small amount of chutney of one side, place required quantity of roasted vegetables in the center. Pull one side of the flatbread over the veggies and roll gently. Pierce with a toothpick at the center to hold the wrap if using. Enjoy the wrap :-)

Notes:
Whole wheat tortillas or even other kinds of tortillas can be substituted in place of whole wheat flat bread in a pinch.
