    • Chapati Roll Recipe (Roti Roll)

    What is Chapati Roll?

    Whenever I am in a hurry, I used my chapati and make these rolls with different stuffing. Here I prepared vegetable and chicken stuffed chapati roll with yogurt dressing. It's a healthy idea to prepare these types of rolls. You can add variations to make this recipe as per your taste, desire, and availability. Simply make it with chicken, only with vegetables, or with potatoes, kebabs, and eggs.

    Chapati Vs. Roti

    It's an Indian flat bread prepared with wheat flour. It's famous as roti, chapati (chapathi), or phulka in India and Pakistan. Chapati is basically a type of roti so we all used these interchangeable names. If you don't have chapati or roti then you can also use a tortilla or pita bread to make the same rolls.

    Chapati roll is so easy to make and more than easy to eat. It's a fast-food type of recipe easy to prepare in the home kitchen. I normally prepare rolls for lunch boxes and sometimes with evening tea. It feels you full for a long time.

    In South Asia, especially Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh roti or chapati is the main source of eating with curry and gravy so every house makes some extra roti that you can use to make these rolls.

    1. To make a perfect chapati roll, it is recommended to make soft chapati using wheat flour. If the dough is perfectly kneaded then you can prepare soft chapati to make these rolls.
    2. Avoid watery sauce placed on chapati otherwise, it will be soggy and break.
    3. Once you make a roll then toast it from all sides to secure the roll for a long time.
    4. Make sure the chapati roll should not overtoasted otherwise the roti will get hard and it will break.
    5. If you are making for lunch box then fully wrap it with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

    Lunch Box Serving

    Serving for Kids: If you are going to prepare a lunch box for kids then simply make these rolls and cut them into small pieces so it will be easy for the kids to have. Don't forget to place aluminum lining at the bottom of the lunch box as it may become watery after getting packed. Never cover the rolls if it's hot otherwise it will become soggy and kids will not like it.

    Serving for Adults: If you are making a lunch box for the office then simply cut it into halves and wrap it with butter paper for easy eating. The addition of french fries, coleslaw, kabab, or any other snacks can make a complete platter.

    Stuffing Ideas

    1. Chapati Roll with Potatoes: Mashed potatoes with green chutney can be used to prepare these rolls in the same way.
    2. Veg Chapati Roll: Roasted carrots, cauliflower, baingan bharta, spinach can be used to make veg stuffing. It will be healthy and nutritious.

    4. Chicken Rolls: This recipe has be been prepared with chicken so you can follow but your can also use leftover chicken tikka, and roasted chicken to make quick rolls.
