  • ½ tsp Catch Pink Iodised Salt
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • Water

For the Veggie Stuffing:

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot, striped
  • ½ capsicum, sliced thin
  • ½ tsp Catch Ginger Paste
  • 1 green chili (optional for kids)
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tsp oil
  • Catch Pepper Powder, to taste
  • Catch Pink Iodised Salt, to taste

Step-by-Step Process to Make a Veg Roll

Tiffin box recipes are all about balancing taste, texture and ease of prep. Here’s how this veg roll comes together:

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Combine flour, salt, oil and milk. Add water as needed and knead into a soft dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes. Divide into balls, roll out and cook on a hot tawa until both sides have light golden spots.

Step 2: Cook the Stuffing

Heat oil in a pan. Add garlic and green chilli (skip chilli if preparing for kids). Once aromatic, add Catch Ginger Paste, followed by cabbage, carrots and capsicum. Stir-fry on high heat for 2–3 minutes. The veggies should stay bright and slightly crunchy. Season with Catch Pink Iodised Salt and Catch Pepper Powder. For extra punch, add a dash of vinegar and soy sauce. Let it cool completely.

Step 3: Roll It Up

Place the stuffing in the centre of each roti. Roll tightly without overstuffing. Avoid adding sauces inside the roll if packing for later—this helps keep the roti firm and fresh.

Step 4: Prepare to Serve

Cut the rolls into two to pack them in a tiffin box. Furthermore, take a small container and add Catch Schezwan Chutney as a dip. It adds just the right amount of spice and flavour without making the roll soggy.

Other Creative Ways to Make Rolls for the Tiffin

Once a basic roll becomes a lunchbox favourite, it’s easy to explore other fun twists. From desi fillings to global inspiration, there’s a lot you can do with a simple roti.
