Today, we will talk about one of India’s favourite street snack, wraps or rolls.
Wraps and Rolls are everyone’s favourite! If we talk about street style rolls, they usually use parathas or rotis made of maida stuffed with delicious spicy fillings such as Potato Masala, Paneer Chilli Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala etc. They also add delicious sauce, spices and pickled onions to give it extra taste and flavour.
