For Raw Mango Chutney

- Heat oil in a pan . Add channa dal , Urad dal , curry leaves. Once it turns slightly golden brown add mustard seeds , asafoetida and red chilli powder . Mix well.
- Add the mango paste and mix well for a minute or two. Turn off the heat.
- Allow it to cool and store in an Airtight container. Always use a dry Spoon.I always make it in advance and store it.
For the Tacos
- In a pan add a tsp of oil. Saute the chopped onions and capsicum on high heat for about 5 mins. Add harissa spice and salt and mix well . Turn off the heat after 2 minutes.
- Transfer the contents to a bowl. In a the same pan add the chopped tofu puffs and roast for a minute or two until crisp.
- Turn off the heat.
- Place the leftover roti on a plate. Spread 1/4 th Tsp of Raw mango chutney on one half the Roti. On top of that add the onion and capsicum mix and crisp tofu puffs.
- Fold it.Place it on the hot gridle until both the sides are nice golden brown and crisp.
- Repeat the process for the remaining rotis.
- Just serve and enjoy as it is. You don't need any Sauce or chuntey to go with it.
- Best enjoyed hot.
Notes
- You can use red and yellow peppers too. I did not have them so have not used it.
- In case you do not have Harissa spice you can add our very own Garam Masala (same quantity) or even a mix of Tandoori masala and subzi masala.Â
- You can use fresh roti in case you do not have leftovers.
- You can add chilli sauce and cheese in case you do not have mango chutney . I would suugest you try with mango chutney before the season ends.
- You can even use pickle spice or leftover pickle masala.
- You can add paneer instead of tofu puffs too.
- Substitutes are endless.
