Cauliflower Roti Sandwich

One afternoon, I was in no mood to prepare lunch and so raided my fridge for leftovers and ended up only having some cooked cauliflower , rotis and some raw eggs.I thought why not make something different out of these and to my surprise, it turned out good. Cauliflower and eggs pair up very well , but if you don’t want to use eggs , you can use cheese as a binding agent which holds it like a sandwich.

Ingredients

Cauliflower mixture

1-2 cups-Cauliflower florets(finely chopped)
½ onion- chopped
1 tsp –garlic paste or chopped
2 – green chillies chopped
½ tsp chilli powder
½ tsp cumin powder
¼ tsp- turmeric powder
Salt to taste
Chopped coriander leaves(optional)

Assembly

4-5 Rotis/tortillas
2-3 eggs- beaten

Directions

Preheat the oil in a pan, add the onions and green chillies and sauté till the onions become transparent.
Add the garlic and the chopped cauliflower and allow it to cook for about 5 mins.
Now add the turmeric ,chilli and cumin powder along with salt and sauté for another 5 mins.
Once the mixture comes together add the chopped coriander and it to cool .

Assembly

Heat the griddle and place the roti on it.
Now arrange the cauliflower mixture such that it fills half the roti/tortilla and then pour the beaten egg (seasoned with salt and pepper) and close the other half of roti over it.
Allow the egg to cook and bind inside with cauliflower(slow- medium flame).
Pour some oil on the edges to get a crispy texture on the rotis.
Once its done, cut it in half and serve it with ketchup or raitha.

Note: You can substitute eggs with cheese also.
