Ingredients of Vegan Turon

How to make Vegan Turon

Step 1 Knead a dough

Sieve wheat, cornflour, and salt 2-3 times. Knead a semi-stiff dough, coat with 1/2 teaspoon oil, cover, and leave for 5 minutes.

Step 2 Make thin sheets

Heat a tawa, pinch a very small piece of dough, and roll it into a very thin roti.

Step 3 Homemade wrap

Roast both sides of the roti for a few seconds in the hot tawa, it should not change color, so remove it immediately. Homemade wrap is ready. Repeat and make all wraps and keep them on a plate.

Step 4 Seasoning

In a bowl mix cinnamon and jaggery. Add a pinch of salt as well.

Step 5 Prepare a slurry

In another bowl, prepare a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon flour and 3 tablespoons of water.

Step 6 Make rolls

Slit the banana from the middle. Place one roti on a board, and place one side of the slit banana in the middle. Sprinkle some jaggery cinnamon powder to coat the banana a bit. Apply slurry around the edges of the wrap. Fold and tuck the wrap in a way to make a roll or a cigar roll

Step 7 Shallow fry

Heat tawa with some coconut oil. Add the rolls and roast on both sides. Add the leftover jaggery cinnamon powder and toss them gently to coat them a bit. Within seconds the jaggery will melt and give the Turons a texture similar to that of caramel. Roast all of them and keep them in a dish.
