Preparing the Green Chutney:
- Begin by preparing the green chutney for the roll. In a mixer or blender, combine the coriander leaves, mint leaves, curry leaves, roasted peanuts, ginger, green chillies, sugar, lemon juice, and salt.
- Add a small amount of water, and blend until you achieve a smooth, thick paste. Set the chutney aside for later use.

-
-
Mix these ingredients thoroughly. Gradually add water, a little at a time, until the batter reaches a smooth and thick consistency.
-
Check the batter for seasoning, adjusting the salt and spices according to your taste preferences.
-
To cook the pakoras, use a Kuzhi Paniyaram Pan (a pan with small cavities for shallow frying). Preheat the pan on medium heat, adding a few drops of sunflower oil into each cavity.
-
Spoon portions of the onion pakora batter into the cavities, making sure they are evenly filled. Cook on medium heat until the pakoras are golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping them as needed to ensure even cooking.
-
Once the pakoras are crisp and done, transfer them to a platter and set aside.
Assembling the Onion Pakora Roll:
-
Heat a tortilla or large roti on a preheated pan with a little oil, just to warm it slightly. Once warm, transfer the tortilla to a flat surface.
-
Spread Veeba Carrot Cucumber Sandwich Spread over the tortilla to add flavor and moisture.
-
In the center of the tortilla, place the following:
- Sliced onions
- Sliced tomatoes
- Sliced cucumber
- Crispy onion pakoras
-
Sprinkle some chaat masala powder over the ingredients to enhance the flavor.
-
Drizzle the prepared green chutney over the filling for an added burst of freshness and spice.
-
Carefully roll the tortilla into a wrap, ensuring all the fillings are enclosed.
Serving:
Serve your Onion Pakora Roll immediately with a hot cup of Adrak Chai (ginger tea) for the perfect evening snack or a quick weeknight dinner. The crispy, flavorful pakoras paired with the fresh chutney and vegetables make this roll a crowd-pleaser!
Tips:
- Customizing the filling: Feel free to add your choice of vegetables or even a few slices of cheese for extra richness.
- Vegan option: The recipe can be made completely vegan by omitting the dairy-based sandwich spread and using a plant-based version.
- Making the chutney ahead of time: You can prepare the green chutney in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days, making this a quick and easy snack to assemble.
This Onion Pakora Roll Recipe is a delightful fusion of crispy pakoras, fresh vegetables, and tangy chutney all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. Whether you enjoy it as a snack or a quick meal, it’s sure to become a favorite in your household.
