Instructions

1. Cook the Vegetables:
   To start your Tandoori Aloo Gobi Kathi Roll, we first need to cook the baby potatoes and cauliflower. In a pressure cooker, add the baby potatoes along with 1/2 cup of water. Pressure cook for about 3 to 4 whistles, then turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. Once cooled, peel the potatoes and set them aside.

   If you have a steamer, steam the cauliflower florets on high heat for 3 to 4 minutes until they are just tender but still firm. Alternatively, you can pan roast the cauliflower with a sprinkle of salt until it is lightly cooked.

2. Marinate the Vegetables:
   In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of curd (yogurt), Kashmiri red chili powder, chaat masala, turmeric powder, and salt. Add the peeled baby potatoes and steamed cauliflower florets to the bowl and gently coat them in the spiced yogurt mixture. Allow the vegetables to marinate for about 15 minutes, letting the flavors infuse.

3. Skewer and Roast the Vegetables:
   Thread the marinated baby potatoes and cauliflower onto skewers for roasting. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of sunflower oil. Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Place the skewered vegetables on the skillet and roast them until you see a few brown spots forming on the surface. Continue to roast all the skewers on a low to medium heat, then remove and set aside.

4. Prepare the Parathas:
   For the parathas, mix the whole wheat flour, salt, and one teaspoon of oil in a bowl. Gradually add water, a little at a time, until the mixture comes together into a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a muslin cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

   After resting, divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. On a floured surface, flatten a dough ball and roll it out into a circular paratha. Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium heat and cook each paratha, brushing with ghee or oil, until both sides are golden brown. Keep the cooked parathas warm.

5. Mix the Salad:
   In a medium bowl, combine the sliced onions and green bell pepper (capsicum). Drizzle with lemon juice, season with salt, and add the chopped green chillies. Toss the salad lightly to mix the ingredients.

6. Assemble the Kathi Rolls:
   To assemble your Kathi Rolls, place a paratha on a piece of foil. Layer a small portion of the onion and capsicum salad onto the paratha. Next, place a skewer of the roasted tandoori aloo gobi in the center, then carefully remove the skewer and discard it. Roll the paratha tightly with the foil, securing the filling inside.

7. Serve:
   Serve the Tandoori Aloo Gobi Kathi Rolls warm, accompanied by a refreshing Dhaniya Pudina Chutney (coriander-mint chutney) and a steaming cup of Masala Chai. These rolls also make for a delightful lunch option when paired with a cup of curd.

Cooking Tips:

• Marination Time: For even more flavor, consider marinating the aloo gobi for a longer period, up to an hour, in the refrigerator.
• Vegetable Options: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for added nutrition and color.
• Spice Level: Adjust the number of green chillies based on your spice tolerance; you can also omit them for a milder roll.

Enjoy the deliciousness of these Tandoori Aloo Gobi Kathi Rolls, where each bite is bursting with flavor and brings the essence of Indian street food right to your home!
