Ingredients

• Mixed vegetables (carrot, bell pepper, green beans) - 200g
• Chickpeas (canned, drained) - 100g
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Tomato - 1 medium, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 inch, grated
• Coconut milk - 200ml
• Curry powder - 2 tsp
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
• Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
• Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
• Olive oil - 1 tbsp
• Salt - to taste
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish
• Whole wheat flour - 150g
• Water - 75ml (for roti)
• Ghee or butter - for brushing roti

Steps

1. In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin and mustard seeds, and sauté until they start to crackle.
2. Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the pot. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the chopped tomato and cook for another 3 minutes until softened.
4. Add the curry powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
5. Add the mixed vegetables and chickpeas, stirring to combine. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
6. While the curry simmers, prepare the roti. In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour and water gradually, kneading to form a smooth dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
7. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
8. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each roti for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Brush with ghee or butter if desired.
9. Once the curry is done, serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, alongside warm roti.
