| Double rotis with omelette filling. |
-Brian Mendonca
Breakfast with rotis has many variations. The usual being the jam roti variety or the marmalade roti if you are creative. But the humble roti, as I discovered, can be grist to the mill to please any palate. So I was particularly intrigued when I saw a recipe called 'Easy egg roti roll.' The first word caught my eye. Easy. That was something I could reckon with. The photo too made you want to die to try it. It showed a roti wrap with red sauce over it in exciting trails. Rotis by themselves can appear boring to the eye but when they tease you with a hidden silo you are left gasping for more. By the way, roti is also called by the fancy name 'tortilla.' And capsicums, well, 'bell peppers.'

PREP
Beat the eggs in a bowl and keep aside. Chop the onions and chillies and saute separately. Chop the capsicums, spinach and tomatoes. Saute them as well. Then toss the vegetables into the egg mix. Add salt. Add seasoning of chopped coriander, mint and cheese. Heat a pan and put oil. When it is hot pour a little of the egg mix into the pan. Add the sauteed onions and chillies. Before it thickens put a roti over it and press it down with a spatula. Let it cook. Turn it on the other side so the egg mix comes on top. There are two ways to go from here. 1) You can roll the roti and make it a manageable wrap with the filling inside. 2) Put another roti over it and press down. Let it cook for a while. This way you have the omelette filling in between two rotis. It becomes like a stuffed paratha but less heavy. Slip it off the pan and serve or store in a chapati container. Make the other egg roti rolls in the same way. Queenie suggested the second option.
TASTE
It came out very well. The rotis were soft and succulent. The veggies made it wholesome and the tomato sauce was devoured by my son. I preferred to have it neat. Looking forward to making it again.
