Also known as a Chapatti Roll, it is an easy snack/meal to make. It can be served either as a snack or as main meal. It uses up the left-overs, but you can make fresh stuffing of your choice. Also see Kathi Rolls

Ingredients

4 chapatties
1 tsp. oil
1/4 tbsp. of ginger peeled and chopped/grated
1/4 tsp. garlic, chopped/grated (optional)
1-2 green chillies (to taste) chopped up
1 cup left over meat/vegetable/chicken curry like Potatoes, Cabbage, Mixed Vegetables*
Salt to taste
Oil to shallow fry
1/2 tsp. wheat flour(optional)
1 tbsp. chopped coriander leaves
*Or use any other spicy filling of choice

Instructions

1.Heat oil and fry onion, ginger, garlic and chopped green chillies for a couple of minutes.
2.Add vegetables/meat/chicken/fish/paneer and stir fry for a minute or two. Add chat masala if using previously un spiced ingredients.
3.Check and adjust seasoning to your taste. You can sprinkle a teaspoon of flour while frying vegetables, to bind the ingredients, but this is not necessary. Your vegetable mix must be completely dry, without gravy, or your chapatti will become soggy.
4.Add and mix coriander leaves.
5.Allow the mix to cool a little.
6.Heat a frying pan or tava to medium hot. Brush with a little oil.
7.Place chapatti on the pan and heat. Turn over and spread about 1-1 1/2 tbsp. of the filling mix in the centre, across the length of the chapatti, like a fajita.
8.‘Fold in’ the top and bottom of chapatti over the filling, making a parcel. You can simply fold it in half, like and omelette or like a parcel, as in picture 4.
9.Fry on both sides until golden brown and semi-crisp. Although you don't need a lot of oil, more liberal you are with it, crisper they are going to be.
10.Serve hot with a Green Chutney or Chilli Sauce or Tomato Ketchup and a Salad of your choice.

Notes

If using Stuffed Green Chillies as a filling, you do not need to re-fry them or add chat masala. They are hot enough already. Simply place one chilli in the centre of the chapatti and follow on from step 6.
You can use sir-fried meat, chicken and seafood fillings as well.
