• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black salt (Kala Namak)
• 1 finely sliced Large onion

• 1 chopped Tomato
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 4 Whole wheat rotis
• 4 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess water. Crumble the tofu into a bowl resembling the texture of scrambled paneer.

Step 2

Add nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the crumbled tofu. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and chopped tomato to the pan. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Add cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, black salt, and chili powder to the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables with spices.

Step 6

Add the marinated tofu to the pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped coriander leaves. Allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 8

To assemble the rolls, spread 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on each roti, and place a portion of the tofu and vegetable mixture in the center. Drizzle a little rice vinegar over the filling.

Step 9

Roll the roti tightly around the filling. Serve warm, cut in half if desired for easier handling.
