News India Live, Digital Desk: As soon as winter arrives, if there is one thing that is discussed the most in Gujarati homes, it is Undhiyu. Lots of green vegetables, papdi, brinjal, sweet potatoes and those fenugreek fists… uff! Start salivating after hearing the name.
But, we all know how fussy kids these days (and sometimes adults too) are about eating “traditional food”. They find bread and vegetables boring and want something fancy like a roll or wrap. So why don’t we give a new and modern twist to our traditional and healthy ‘Undhiyu’?
today we will talk “Undhiyu Wraps” of. This dish is not only the smartest way to feed lots of vegetables to your kids, but it can also become the pride of your lunch box.
Why is this ‘wrap’ so special?
See, Undhiyu is a ‘treasure of health’ in itself. It contains all those vegetables which provide warmth to the body in winter. When you turn it into a ‘wrap’ or ‘roll’, it becomes mess-free and looks cool.
Come on, let’s make desi undhiyu wrap quickly.
You don’t need any rocket science to make it. If you have leftover undhiyu from the night before, it can be made in 5 minutes, and is not too difficult even if made fresh.
What do you want?
- For base: You can also use wheat roti, multigrain roti or market tortilla.
- Filling: Prepared Undhiyu vegetable. (Mash the potatoes, sweet potatoes, papdi and brinjal well so that the wrap does not tear).
- For flavour: Green chutney (for spiciness) and mayonnaise or thick curd (for kids).
- For the crunch: Finely chopped onion and a little sev (bhujiya).
Easy way to make:
- Prepare the base: First of all take a roti. If the roti is fresh then it is great, and if it is left over from the night then lightly roast it on the pan so that it becomes soft.
- Apply chutney: Apply your favorite chutney on one side of the roti. If you are making it for children then you can apply some mayonnaise or ketchup.
- Decorate Undhiyu: Now spread the undhiyu curry well in the middle of the roti. Keep in mind that the vegetable should not be too wet, otherwise the wrap will disintegrate while eating.
- Desi Tadka: Add finely chopped onion over it and if you want, you can also grate some cheese. Children eat everything in the name of cheese.
- Roll and Grill: Now roll it tightly. Put some butter on a pan and fry this roll till it becomes golden and crisp from both the sides.
That’s it, it’s ready! Cut it from the middle and serve hot.
Tip:
If your kids like muthia (fenugreek fritters), make sure to break them and put them inside the wrap. Their crispy taste takes wraps to the next level.
So the next time the child says, “Mummy, I am not hungry”, present this hot undhiyu rap Keep it. Believe me, not only will the plate be empty, you will also be relieved that the child has eaten something healthy.
