Grilled Eggplant Rolls

Although eggplants are delicious inside a wrap, they can also be used as a tasty replacement for the wrap itself. By brushing eggplant slices with oil and grilling them, you can make them strong enough to hold a filling, while still having that pleasant, caramelized finish on the surface. Here’s how to make some delicious grilled eggplant rolls.

Ingredients for Grilled Aubergine Rolls:
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp. (toasted)
Salt - to taste
Olive oil - 4 1/2 tbsp.
Quinoa - 3 1/2 oz
Chili powder - 1/4 sp.
Paneer cheese - 3 1/2 oz (grated)
Garam masala - 1 sp.
Fresh coriander - a bunch (chopped)
Vegetable oil - as needed
Red beetroot - 1 (coarsely grated)
Carrots - 2 (coarsely grated)
Red bell pepper - 1 (chopped)
Method of preparing the Grilled Aubergine Rolls:
  1. Cook the quiona. Drain and set aside.
  2. Mix 3 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, toasted cumin, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Trim the eggplants and slice lengthways into 1/8-inch thick slices. Brush the slices with the oil marinade.
  4. Oil a griddle pan or large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the eggplant slices for around 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re soft and charred. Set aside on a paper towel to drain.
  5. Oil a non-stick pan on medium heat. Sauté the onion until light brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, salt, and chili powder and sauté for another 2 minutes.
  6. Add the cooked quinoa and cook for 5-7 minutes, then add the grated paneer and remove from the heat. Finish with the garam masala powder and chopped coriander.
  7. Lay the eggplant slices on a chopping board. Spread a generous layer of the filling on top of each and add the vegetables. Roll up each slice to enclose the filling.
