You can easily substitute roti with parathas, whole wheat tortillas, or even large lettuce leaves for a low-carb option. Parathas will make the roll richer and flakier.
Ensure your bhurji is semi-dry and not too watery from the tomatoes. Also, assemble the rolls just before you plan to serve them to keep the roti fresh and prevent it from getting soggy from the sauces.
