Vegan Noodles Wrap / Kathi Roll

I, like a lot of people, am a sucker for Indo-Chinese food and its glorious flavours. Because, in India, Indo-Chinese food is available anywhere and everywhere, right from the fancy restaurants to streets . And because it’s so accessible and delicious, I’ve grown up eating chow mein, spring roll, soups, chop suey and momos (dim sum) and several other such dishes. Therefore, to go down memory lane, I wanted to create something nostalgic and familiar, yet different. And so, I developed this recipe of Garlicky Vegan Noodles Wrap or Kathi Roll. Without a doubt, these wraps are filled with a garlicky, spicy and flavourful filling which includes noodles and crunchy fresh veggies.

Moreover, the noodles being sautéed in such flavourful sauces perfectly balances out with the crunchy goodness of capsicum and onions. Also, the addition of coriander or dhaniya leaves and white til or sesame seeds add a new layer of flavour and texture for sure. As always, this Vegan Noodles Wrap recipe is also totally adaptable and can be modified as per your personal taste preferences.

Additionally, If you like this Vegan Noodles Wrap recipe, I am happy to let you know that I have many other amazing oriental recipes on my blog.
