I am fond of Mediterranean food, so I decided to make my own version of wrap inspired by Mediterranean flavors. I used big sized roti/chapati for the wrap, eggplant pakoras/fritters along with home-made hummus and mint chutney.

Serving Suggestion for EGGPLANT ROTI WRAP

1. Take a roti and spread hummus and  mint chutney in the center of it.
2. Place 3-4 eggplant pakoras on it.
3. Then add some diced onions and tomatoes to it.
4. Sprinkle salt and black pepper according to your taste.
5. Sprinkle some roasted cumin seeds.
6. Garnish it with few cilantro leaves.
7. Fold both sides of the roti and envelope one side of the roti with food grade/aluminium foil to prevent the filling from sliding out.

Enjoy the Wrap!
