Description

It’s raining chapathi’s in the recent for lunch and dinner at home under the request of hubby dear for month’s together now . I desperately needed a change but with the chapathi itself as it’s counter in another form . The easiest I could think of was a katti roll as old – school favourites make us glow with child like delight and the next problem being , it has to be healthy comfort food too . Had the veggie filling and chapathi’s in hand ready . To add more taste in a healthy way , decided to give the chapathis an egg white wash on one side . Went ahead and filled the veggies and rolled one katti roll . Tasted but the katti roll was a bit dry and hubby dear likes food that has a lot of moister in it rather than dry dishes . Now wanting a spread to be added to the katti roll … Healthy spread as well ??? Umm the only option in mind was hummus but it was already 12 .30 noon and making hummus in one hours time for lunch .. Not possible as soaking the chick peas and going ahead umm … is actually possible but my laziness just didn’t let me do so . Quickly added all the ingredients in a blender I do for hummus except for boiled chick peas and substituted with a cup of sautéed vegetables that I had for the filling with hung  curd for the creamy texture and went ahead . Tasted and adjusted the ingredients and seasoning to taste . Bingo I did get an awesome tasting humus that was profound in it’s simplicity but not the authentic way instead a quick fix one and got to realise that with a few tweaks and innovations these sort of casual classics can  be even more memorable . No time to taste once I assembled the katti roll together as it was lunch time already . Took pictures when hubby dear was shouting out for lunch and waited for the results on taste .He was like who send this over ? It’s send over from ” Mahu house ” was my reply . That’s our home name :-)) . He knocked my head with a grin having a bite , mouth full of the katti roll and widened his eyes indicating it’s delicious . He’s being asking me to do the same often  but it’s just not worked out yet not sure why ? So peeps at least all of you give a try and let me know the results as I have solved the mystery of what to make today at your homes for lunch box , breakfast , lunch or dinner as well :-))) .
