Weekend Brunch: Healthy Vegetable Wraps

This was an impromptu preparation for a Saturday brunch. Quick, healthy and tasty, and not to forget, quite filling.

I used whole wheat parathas, prepared with minimal oil. I made them in advance, and lightly heated them in a microwave before serving.

For the filling, I used whatever veggies I had at hand. You can add more variety based on your choice.

Ingredients:

For the filling:

Cabbage, finely shredded (I used half of a small sized cabbage)

Capsicum: 1 medium, cut in thin strips

Carrot: 1 medium, sliced in 1 inch strips

Onion: 1 medium, sliced

Salt, pepper: to taste

Mixed Italian herbs: 1/2 tsp (approx)

Oil (Olive or Vegetable): 1 - 2 tbsp

For the wraps / rolls:

Tortillas / whole wheat parathas: 4 - 6

Method:

- Heat oil in a pan. Add onions and saute on high heat for a minute

- Add the cabbage and carrots. Reduce the heat to medium and stir fry for around 3 - 5 minutes. Do not cook the veggies completely or else they will lose the crunchiness

- Add the capsicum and saute for another 2 minutes

- Add the salt, pepper and Italian herbs. Mix well

To Serve:

- Take a paratha / tortilla. Heat it slightly in a microwave / tawa / pan

- Place the filling in the center (or slightly away from it)

- Roll it and secure it with a toothpick

- Enjoy it with your favourite chutney / ketchup

Note: I also used the leftover filling to prepare grilled sandwich. It tasted great too. Too bad that I could not take any pictures.
