- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder

- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder

- 4 Whole wheat rotis
- 4 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves

Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess water. Crumble the tofu into a bowl resembling the texture of scrambled paneer.
Add nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the crumbled tofu. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and chopped tomato to the pan. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, black salt, and chili powder to the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables with spices.
Add the marinated tofu to the pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped coriander leaves. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
To assemble the rolls, spread 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on each roti, and place a portion of the tofu and vegetable mixture in the center. Drizzle a little rice vinegar over the filling.
Roll the roti tightly around the filling. Serve warm, cut in half if desired for easier handling.
