All is well....when there is a Kathi Roll

Kathi Rolls or wraps always remind me of my mother. If she was treated to a kathi roll , all was well…

We usually had a chicken or Paneer (Cottage cheese)double egg Kathi roll at the famous Nizams Kathi, but today , keeping in view with light lunches I prepared a vegetable roll. You can omit the Egg on the Jowar wrap if you don’t have egg. But it does give it a lot of added flavor. I have used Jowar or Sorghum Millet as the wrap as it is gluten free and packed with nutrients . Thanks to the Millet table , the jowar wraps were a hit !

Have a bite and you will know 'All is well…..
