We have come to the very tricky alphabet today in the A-Z flatbread series. The choice of words are Quinoa and Qeema. As I had a little bit of Quinoa left, I decided to make this Quinoa Roti Wrap Recipe
First I was planning to make Roti with Quinoa flour. Then I thought of making cooked quinoa stuffing but I already have so many stuffed flatbread recipes and wanted a change in between.
So I made a sort of Quinoa upma and used it as a filling and used a Roti as a wrap. I have hit two mangoes with a stone with this recipe and I used that Roti as a wrap for today’s post.Smart me , right!!
Here are some other Wrap recipes that might interest you…
Before we go on to the recipe, check out this Chinese style spicy chapathi called Qiancenbing .It is a popular street food around the place I lived in China. We used to but this spicy roti by loads and have our fill. I am still not able to replicate the taste / texture.Check out the above link to read about how it is cooked on a large scale.
Step by step method to prepare Quinoa Roti Wrap Recipe
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard,cumin, broken red chilies and curry leaves.Once the mustard pops and the dal turns brown, add onion,grated ginger and garlic and saute till the onion turns soft. Put in the capsicum.
Saute for a minute.Let the capsicum retain the crunch.Add cooked quinoa and salt.Mix everything together and cook for 2 minutes on low flame for the flavors to blend.Remove from pan and let it cool.
To make the wrap, place a portion of this quinoa mixture on a Roti,top with a little sauce and coriander leaves and wrap it up and serve!
Note:
- You can add other vegetables as well.Carrot, beans and peas are best suited.
- Masala powders like pav bhaji masala, sambar powder will give a twist of taste to the filling.

Q sure is a tricky alphabet , it has limited options to choose from . Quinoa is a great option and that stuffing looks so so good . Stuffing it in a Ragi Roti you not only killed two birds at a go , but also made it super duper nutritious . Good job PJ !
Welcome to the quinoa club! Love this roti wrap with quinoa and veggies. Talk about killing multiple birds with one stone! Great going!!
Wow, this wrap is definitely a prefect meal for me.. Adding quinoa as filling for making a wrap is absolutely a brilliant idea Pj. I would like to grab that wrap and enjoy rite now.
Very innovative and creative post, PJ. Healthy all round. I am loving the concept of wraps with quinoa filling. Will try it out next time.
That looks like a filling wrap PJ. I have never tried quinoa in recipes as it is too expensive here. Looking at that colourful filling I am tempted to buy a pack.
What a wonderful idea to use cooked quinoa as a stuffing for rotis…healthy and different.
Wow roti out if quinoa is innovative for me and then add a wrap to it simply superb.
This is surely a fantastic take for the letter and love how good the quinoa upma looks in the wrap…You are very smart PJ..:)
Quinoa is perfect pick for q letter… awesome wrap recipe specially for kids.
That is an interesting wrap you have there PJ. Definitely something I can try for my husband who is not a big fan of quinoa.
I’m having a big pack of quinoa that my sis sent from US, God knows why I’m so hesitant in using that. Your quinoa wrap is tempting me to open the pack and give it a try.
fabulous way to use quinoa, I loved the idea of making upma with it. I am sure using quinoa in Indian ways will make a lot of difference and we can eat happily. great choice of making this.
