- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1.5 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 300 grams Vegetarian chicken substitute
- 1 medium size, chopped Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
- 1 minced Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder

- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
Gradually add water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and knead to form a smooth and elastic dough. This will take about 10 minutes.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
In the meantime, prepare the filling. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and ginger paste. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add minced green chili, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the vegetarian chicken substitute to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through and well mixed with the spices.
Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Set the filling aside to cool.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to form a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Spread the prepared filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
Roll up the dough tightly into a log, tuck in the edges, and place it seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
Cover the bread with a cloth and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the top of the bread with the beaten egg if using, and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
