Black Bean and Spinach Wrap with Green Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Roti Dough

   • In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and 1/4 tsp salt.
   • Gradually add water and knead to form a soft, pliable dough. It should not be sticky.
   • Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. 2

   Cook the Black Beans

   • Drain the soaked black beans. Add them to a pressure cooker with 2 cups of fresh water and a pinch of salt.
   • Pressure cook for 4-5 whistles or until the beans are soft and cooked through.
   • Drain any excess water and set the cooked beans aside.
3. 3

   Make the Spinach and Bean Filling

   • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
   • Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute until the raw smell is gone.
   • Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and mushy.
   • Add all the spice powders: turmeric, red chili, coriander, and garam masala, along with 1/2 tsp salt. Sauté for a minute.
   • Add the cooked black beans and mix well. Gently mash some of the beans with the back of a spoon to create a thicker consistency.
   • Fold in the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
   • Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Your filling is ready.
4. 4

   Cook the Rotis

   • Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions and roll them into smooth balls.
   • Dust a ball with dry flour and roll it out into a thin circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
   • Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium-high heat. Place the roti on the hot tawa.
   • Cook for about 30 seconds until you see small bubbles. Flip and cook the other side for about a minute.
   • Flip again and press gently with a spatula to help it puff up. Cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
   • Repeat for the remaining dough balls.

   Assemble the Wraps

   • In a small bowl, mix the yogurt and chopped mint to make a simple spread.
   • Take a warm roti and spread a thin layer of the mint yogurt on it.
   • Place a generous amount of the black bean and spinach filling in the center.
   • Roll the roti tightly to form a wrap. Serve immediately.
