“Carrot Cake” Roti: A Video!
If you love the flavours of Carrot Cake, and want to whip up a healthy treat for breakfast, you can make these “Carrot Cake” Rotis. Yes, you read right, carrot cake and roti – in one.
How? Well, mix in the carrot and the traditional carrot cake spices with roti flour of your choice and make rotis as usual. It’s really that simple. And The best thing about this recipe is that you get that lovely carrot cake fragrance and taste without any sugar or sweetener!
.
.
I’ve added ginger and turmeric – unsual for carrot cakes – to this recipe because not only are they good for you but ginger goes well with carrot and turmeric adds an extra dash of yellow-orange to your rotis.
As for accompaniments peanut butter (or any nut or seed butter) is great. For a completely different experience try it with coriander chutney and yogurt. Or even pickle!
And now, for the video recipe!

And just for fun, I’m adding this post to the party at the Fiesta Friday series, the brainchild of Angie, The Novice Gardener, at present hosted by Mr Fitz at Cooking with MrFitz and Justine at Eclectic Odds and Sods. It’s vegetarian themed this time, so this recipe will fit right in! 🙂

Wow I love the creativity of this! Looks yummy too
Thanks so much Michelle! I’m off to check out your creatively named blog! 🙂

Thanks Madz. I learned from the mistakes when we tried doing the stop motion photography long ago.. and just took a video which I then edited for a whole day! Thrilled that you like it! 🙂
Love your creative carrot cake roti! 🙂 And your video too!! I’m happy you made a video, I believe you crossed off what we want to see on your blog this year, when you asked us what we would like to see for 2014. I suggested making a video, and you did it. Yay!! Congrats! 🙂
You remembered! Yes, I made this on your suggestion. Thanks so much for your continued support, Violet! 🙂
Of course I did! Thanks so much for listening to my suggestion! 🙂 Love your blog!!! Happy blogging & video blogging Priya!! 🙂
What a fabulous idea! Pure brilliance 🙂
Yay! Thanks Afra! 🙂
Carrot cake roti, this is genius!! 😀
Thanks! I googled to see if anyone had done this before and was so surprised that they hadn’t. So had to share! 🙂
Love the recipe video! Wow! 🙂
Hello and Thank you! 🙂
The video is beautiful! I cannot imagine the amount of work it would have taken to make it without the ‘human’ touch, or maybe you have the technology to make it? I’m trying these rotis tomorrow!
It did take a lot of work, actually! It took almost two hours to film and several hours to edit to remove the ‘human touch’ as you said.. But it was worth it, considering you guys liked it! 🙂 Hope you enjoy making and eating these, Apsara!
Priya – Love, love, love the video – it’s adorable and tells the story perfectly! The stove substitution was genius! A very creative take on a traditional recipe – hats off to you! And a very Happy Fiesta Friday – thanks for bringing these to the party!
Aww, am thrilled that you noticed the “stove”! Made my day, Selma! 🙂 Happy FF to you too! Lovely to “meet” you!
I am floored! You are beyond awesome!! So creative!
Ha ha! Thanks so much for the appreciation.. really makes the time spent worth it! 🙂
Priya, if I say in punjabi…..dil Khush kitta wai :). Had fun watching the video. S crisp and so different. Pass me some tips..couldn’t tame the YouTube.
Now to recipe : what an awesome idea my dear. Just superb.
That’s the first time someone has said something to me in Punjabi! So, thank so for that, Sonal! Glad you liked the video and the recipe. Happy to share tips with you Sonal.. I did this video by recording the entire process and then using a movie editing software to remove all the parts with me/my hands in them.. then I added the text and the soundtrack! It was a long process but in the end, it was worth it! 🙂
Totally worth it my drear :). Loved it.
Love the video! So fun to watch and listen to! And this recipe is so unique and creative. I will give this a try. Have to. 🙂
Thanks a lot Angie! Glad you liked the video! Thought it would be fun to bring it to the party! It’s super easy so do give it a try sometime and let me know how it went! 🙂
Wow! These look awesome! How very creative! 😀
Yay! Glad you liked it, Julianna! 🙂
I love your video! So clever. and of course the rotis. Yummmm. My fave is almond butter, I bet that would be tasty! Happy Fiesta Friday!
Thanks Meghan! Almond butter would be great with these rotis! Nice to “meet” you through Fiesta Friday! 🙂

Aww, thanks Anitha! 🙂
Carrot cake rotis? Genius.. Thanks for bringing them over!
Thank you Mr Fitz! Happy FF! 🙂
This is so brilliant! Never thought of making carrot cake and rotis as one. These rotis look so good! Thank you for bringing these to FF and for sharing a video. 🙂 Happy FF!
Nice you “meet” you Jhuls, and thanks for dropping by! 🙂 Happy FF to you too!
Nice to meet you, too! 😉
I love it! I regularly make carrot and raddish rotis. This would be a wonderful change. 🙂
Love the video.
Thanks Aruna! Yup, this small change of spices makes for a welcome change! Happy roti-ing! 🙂
How creative! Wow! Bookmarking this! 🙂
Thanks Lori! 🙂
What???? How could you think so creative? That’s amazing how you came up with this idea. Wish I was gluten tolerant 😦
Thanks Charanya! I’m pretty sure you can use this recipe and substitute the wholewheat with the gluten free flour mixes you get these days. In any case the next recipe of mine will be gluten-free and vegan so that should be just right for you! 🙂
Priya, You are very kind 😀 That would be amazing 🙂
