Instructions:
-
Boil the Broccoli: In a pot of water, bring the broccoli to a boil with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Boil for approximately 5 minutes until tender yet crisp. Drain and set aside.
-
Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the refined flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add water, stirring continuously, until a soft dough forms.
-
Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into circles of approximately 14 cm in diameter.
-
Cook the Rotis: Heat a teaspoon or two of oil on a flat-bottomed pan (tava). Place a circle of dough on the pan and cook on both sides until lightly golden-brown, with brown specks appearing. Repeat for all the dough circles.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the rotis are cooked, spread a generous layer of low-fat mayonnaise on each. Place three slices of tomatoes and a portion of boiled broccoli in the center of each roti, from top to bottom.
-
Roll Up the Sandwiches: Roll up the rotis tightly, enclosing the filling.
-
Serve: Wrap each sandwich in tissue paper for easy handling and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite veggies or add a sprinkle of cheese for extra flavor.
- Experiment with different sauces or spreads for added variety.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the refined flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- These sandwiches can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making them perfect for picnics or on-the-go lunches.
