Servings 5
Ingredients
- 6 roti / readymade tortilla / wholewheat flatbread
- 200 grams beef mortadella slices / or cooked meat of your choice
- 6 tbsp of cream cheese spread/ or mayonnaise
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 5 lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato sliced
- 6 cheese Slices
- ΒΌ cup chili sauce
To make pizza sauce:
- 5 medium ripe tomatoes roughly chopped
- 6 cloves of garlic finely chopped
- 1 small onion finely chopped optional
- 1 green chili or fresh red chili finely chopped
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt according to taste
- 1 tsp red chili powder optional
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 4 tbsp oil for cooking
Instructions
To make pizza sauce:
- Place the chopped tomatoes into a mixer jar and pulse it for few seconds at a time to get a coarse mixture. We do not want to make a fine puree. Heat oil in a sauce pan and fry garlic till light brown, followed by onion and fresh chili. Fry till everything is soft and oil separates. Add crushed tomatoes, salt, sugar, oregano, and black pepper. Stir well and cook on high heat for 2 minutes and bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, lower the heat and add red chili powder and cumin powder and continue to cook on low flame till all the water evaporates. ( This will take about 15 to 20 minutes)
To make roll-ups:
- Take a roti or flatbread and spread cream cheese on it and cover till the edges. Spread some pizza sauce in the center along with some chili sauce. Keep a piece of lettuce leaf, tomato slice, cooked beef mortadella sheet, and a cheese slice. Start rolling the roti from one side tightly and securing all the stuffing inside it, till it reaches the other end. Cut the roll into 3-inch slices.
- Serve as breakfast or tea time snack.
