The Jowar Veggie Wrap is a one meal dinner recipe that is sure to satiate you, with both flavour and nutrition.
The Jowar Veggie Wrap rotis are made of jowar and whole wheat flour, tinged with the peppy flavour of carom seeds. The carom seeds also help improve digestion.
These jowar vegetable rotis are tastefully packed with a stuffing of cauliflower and other veggies, spiced mildly with just half a teaspoon of chilli powder. The green chutney should be mildly spiced or else it might provoke acidity in this acidity friendly roti, Jowar Vegetable Wrap.
See why this is a healthy jowar vegetable roti? Jowar flour which is known for its alkaline nature is combined in double quantity with wheat flour to make the nourishing rotis of this Jowar Veggie Wrap. A hint of carom seeds aids in digestion and thus soothes the stomach.
Notes on Indian sorghum veg wrap. 1. Wheat flour is best combined with jowar flour, instead of using it solely, to control acidity. In these rotis, wheat flour will also make the process of rolling and making the wrap easier. 2. Add carom seeds to the batter. Also called as ajwain, these are known for their digestive property and ability to prevent bloating. So don’t miss out on this ingredient. 3. Keep the Jowar Roti dough aside for 5 to 10 minutes if possible. This makes rolling smoother. 4. We prefer you use peanut oil. Peanut oil has the highest amount of MUFA (around 49%) amongst most common Indian cooking oils and its good you start using it in your rotis.
You can have a go at other stomach-friendly snacks like Mini Jowar and Tomato Uttapa or Buckwheat Dhokla.
