Prepare the salad and raita
Mix the raita ingredients together and set aside. Warm the rotis. Toss together the lettuce, cucumber and mint leaves and dress with lemon juice.
Fry the bhajis and wrap up!
Heat 5cm of oil in a wok or deep pan. Add a drop of the bhaji mixture– when it rises to the surface, bubbling and browning, the oil is hot enough. Add heaped tbsps of the mixture to the oil, a few at a time, and cook for a few minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy (about 5-6 minutes). Lift onto kitchen paper, sprinkle with salt and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the rest.
